This causes confusion and can be frustrating for those working in Windows Resource files for example, which are used for C++ projects, and they mandate the trailing new line or else the compiler fails. ### **Current Behaviour** * MR "Changes" View file **_without_** newline at end of file ➜ Displays `\ No newline at end of file` warning{width="341" height="71"} * MR "Changes" View file **_with_** newline at end of file ➜ Does not display the newline {width="339" height="58"} * File view file **_with_** newline at end of file ➜ Displays newline {width="341" height="80"} * Raw view file **_with_** newline at end of file ➜ doesn't include the newline in raw {width="342" height="43"} * Raw file download maintains the newline at the end of file ### Steps to reproduce 1. Commit and push file with a trailing new line 2. Go into web interface, observe how the newline is displayed in diffs, file view and raw mode ### Example Project https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/a8bd0a9b84156a10c647c47cbbdb30f748eb0a2b/resources/msw/kiwin32.rc ### What is the current _bug_ behavior? This is not a bug behaviour - it is just not intuitive in design ### What is the _desired_ behavior? New line is displayed in all modes ### Output of checks New line is displayed in all views including MR changes, File, and Raw view
