Oh! But I misunderstood your problem then :S

Well, it does not... I see the same problem here, I cannot create blank
lines. Or said in another way, multiple newline characters render as a
single newline character. The strange thing is that the saved textfile
*does* contain the exact amount of newline characters you would
expect...

So, I did some further debugging and found that the modify_font call
is the culprit. Put line 151 [self.textview.modify_font(self.font_desc)]
in a comment and try again. All of the sudden, multiple newline
characters are actually rendered as blank lines :)

mvg,
Dieter
