Hmm, not sure what you mean here, i enter some blank lines, and can
cursor up and down at the start of them without problems, or click on
the lines to get to them with the mouse.

This is a gtk+ bug, and beyond our control.  But the ok button has
vanished for the next version and the dialogue just dissapears by
itself, so it should no longer bother.

Well as you see above some get fixed or become redundant without a
corresponding bug in bugzilla.  Perhaps wait for a response and make up
your mind from there (that is what i'd prefer).
