[gedit-list] External-tools plugin requires trailing newline to replace selection

[Hugh <hugh salsacardiff com>]

Sometimes (often) when using a script in the External-tools plugin I 
want to replace the selection without an extra trailing newline, bit I 
don't think its possible.

For instance, I think the following script should leave the selected 
text as it finds it, but instead, the selection is deleted.

-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# [Gedit Tool]
# Input=nothing
# Output=replace-selection
# Name=Test
# Applicability=all
# Save-files=nothing

printf "%s" "$GEDIT_SELECTED_TEXT"
-----------------------------------

If a newline is added to the printf (printf "%s\n"), the selection is 
replaced, but the unwanted newline is added.


Does this qualify as a bug? (Gedit 3.6.1 on Debian)
