I wonder if that's to do with MIME types? With a space and a newline, the file is detected by "file" as ASCII text rather than "empty". A single newline is detected as "very short file (no magic)", so probably the space-newline combo is the shortest file that can be automatically detected as text. It might be handy to have the option to "Create New => Empty File" though, although I don't think I've ever needed to do this outside a terminal myself. Paul
