this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/616441

"The four attached files were generated like this.
Open rom_bourg16_rew.txt with gedit, "save as" rom_bourg16_rew2.txt with Windows-style line returns.
Close the file. open rom_bourg16_rew2.txt , save it as rom_bourg16_rew3.txt
Close, open rom_bourg16_rew3.txt, save it as rom_bourg16_rew4.txt

Every time it saves, gedit adds new lines at random places. The three last files should be the same."

Minimal test case

Opening the file creates one additional newline if the Carriage Return/Line Feed combination (CR LF) is both ways from a 8192-byte page. The file is saved with this additional newline.

See the attached file (its MIME type is application/octet-stream, just in case!), which serves as a test case for this bug. In a hex editor, it's 8191 'a', then CR LF, then 1 'a'. In gedit, this makes 2 newlines.

Using gedit 2.30.3.
