ini file grows to excessive size with blank lines

[guido]

Upon every exit from mc, the ini config file adds several blank lines between sections. If not corrected, it grows to thousands of lines. Performance is NOT affected. I use a sed script to fix it, but, that should NOT be needed. (sed -i '/^$/d;/\[/{x;p;x;}' ini). This is occurring even when there are NO changes to the setup. Clearly not an important bug. But, could it get fixed in some future release?
NB: It happens even when auto-save=setup is disabled

Cannot confirm.

First at all, show the output of mc -V. What version of glib you use?

ini1 has a few more lines than ini0. ini0 is the start ini; ini1 is after just 1 exit with auto-save on.
