The PB editor should insert an empty line at the end of the code.

Many Linux programs require this on text files and otherwise do not work correctly.
For example:

Code: Select all

$ wc -l file.pb

returns the value "0" as the number of lines even though a line of code exists.

My Linuy PB-IDE even removes one last linebreak every time i save the file and reopen the Editor. I don't want an editor to do that either way. Might be Scintilla or the Prefs handling, i don't know.
But for wc: its counts newline characters, not lines. Otherwise it would get ambiguous. Does an empty file has one empty line or zero lines?

I agree with you.
If you edit a PureBasic source code file with another program, it is very likely that the last line will be missing when you reload it.
