wxPython StyledTextCtrl, weird 'LF'

Question

I am working on a simple text editor in wxPython, and I noticed a problem:
When I press 'Return' key, editor adds a weird 'LF':

How do i remove them?

How do i prevent my program from printing them?

Could you post relevant portions of your code for us to take a look at? — pedram, Aug 08 '13 at 13:02

If you are on windows then carriage return is actually Carriage Return, Line Feed, (0x0a, 0x0d) - (on old Macs it is the other way round) - you are probably just stripping off the last character line.strip() should get rid of it or you can search for and replace chr(0x0a) and chr(0x0b) with '' in your strings.

I found where the problem was:
I had that line in my custom StyledTextCtrl subclass:

self.SetViewEOL(True)

It was causing printing of those 'LF's

Here is the function's description:

SetViewEOL(self, bool visible)

Make the end of line characters visible or invisible.
