(210/239) 3900 - Extra crlf being added to the end of the file every time

version 5.1 on windows 8 with java 1.7.0_72
line separator is set to crlf
I'm saving file with no additional empty line at the end. If I press ctrl+end the caret will stop the end of last word.
And when I open this file in another editor (nontepad2) I see empty line at the end. I also viewed it with hex editor. there is 0D0A at end too.
And if I add last empty line at the end in jEdit, I'm getting 0D0A0D0A in hex editor and 2 empty lines in notepad2.

Are you saying that if you 'save as' an empty file, it should not contain just crlf or are you saying if you save a file with just 1 line, it has crlfcrlf at the end or are you say if you save a file with just 1 line, it should not have any crlf at end? I cannot test windows 8, but for me (windows 7, jEdit 5.1.0, Java 1.8.0_20), if I save a file containing just 1 word 'test', then the jEdit Hex plugin shows 0000000: 74 65 73 74 0d 0a              ;test.. and has a size of 6 bytes which is what I expect.

So jEdit adds an hidden empty line at the end of the file (vi does the same). There is an option for that in Global Options->Text Area At the end of the screen, look at the checkbox "Hide final end of line (if any)"
