Bug#46469: Blank lines are inserted randomly into text

Package: kate
Version: 2.0 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18
OS/Compiler notes: 

I wrote a text file and saved the connents.  It was just plain, ordinary text in paragraph form (like a letter, book, etc.  It's not code).  When I reopened the file, blank lines had been inserted into my text.  I removed them and saved.  However, when I restarted KATE, they returned (in the same positions for the most part).  These blank lines always appear where word wrap has cut a line into several lines like its supposed to.  It never inserts line breaks into the middle of a line, lines are never cut appart.  My End of line is set to UNIX.

I have tried various things, but this keeps reoccuring.  I don't know if it can be reproduced.  My KATE configuration hasn't been tampered with either.
