Description Steven S 2010-05-04 18:32:57 UTC 
Launchpad link by someone else (it also affects me):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/546097

The problem comes with the default gedit installed in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and is a continual inconvenience during coding.

As described in launchpad:
--------------------
1. Open gedit, create new document
2. type "abcde" <ENTER>
3. hit 'tab' to indent the next line
4. type "1234" <ENTER>
5. hit <ENTER>
    You now have two text lines, the second of which is indented. The third line is blank, but indented.
6. hit <ENTER>
    You now have another indented blank line. If you now arrow up, the third line is blank, but no longer indented.

Both of the blank lines created should have been indented, but the action of creating a new empty line erases the indentation of the empty line above it.

This is already fixed in gtksourceview 2.10.1

My apologies, my search didn't turn it up.
