I never see it in IDLE, so I suspect the difference will be traced to how
lines are getting sucked out of the underlying text widget.  The Tk text
widget *always* has a newline at the end of the buffer; if Scintilla's
doesn't, then PythonWin's emulation of the Tk text cmds used by AutoIdent.py
has to make it look like it does.
