Code spacing when updating a plugin

That looks like a line break problem. As you probably already know, different OS have different line break conventions. Most Unix-like systems use \n (LF), Windows and some other systems use \r\n (CR LF). If some of the software that you use doesn't know how to properly handle both standards, or if it's not configured correctly, you can end up with duplicate line breaks.

For example, some FTP software can cause this problem:

Overall, this is probably not directly related to the plugin updater. When WordPress updates a plugin, it doesn't mess with the source code. It just installs the new files and deletes the old ones. The plugin-upate-checker itself never modifies plugin files - it just retrieves update information and passes it to WordPress.

Bump. Did you ever figure out what was causing the extra spaces?

Not really no. didn`t had the time to investigate that.
I guess you can close this for now.
Thanks

All right, closed. Feel free to reopen the issue if you find anything.
