That empty line was added between 21.3 and now. I do not know the reason for that. It might be because some people thought that the empty line made things look clearer, or it might be related to the fact that the widget library sometimes _needs_ blank lines between certain types of widgets to function properly. I personally ran into some not immediately obvious instances of that. (Though not with this particular empty line.) I think that it definitely would be a bad idea to remove the line without knowing why it was added. Is this really important enough to worry about? Sincerely, Luc.
