Highlight trailing space

It would be neat if spyder could highlight trailing space.

I know that there is an option to remove all trailing space upon save, but that is not always desirable, especially in cases where formatting changes and actual changes should be separate commits. I would rather remove trailing whitespace manually, but I can't see it at the moment.

Cheers

Well why not activate pep8 then?

This already solved. You can view blank spaces now by going to the menu

Source > Show blank spaces

Showing blank space is not the same as showing trailing blank spaces only. The first one displays little dots everywhere while the second one should display only the one to be removed (and it's harder to do).
Maybe it's easier to highlight them (a simple regexp in the syntax highlighter should do it) with a red background rather than showing a dot ?

Ok, you're right. Reopening then ;-)
