Description

So, overall I love this tool. It's a very nice, lightweight alternative to Portainer. However, there are a couple of small details that are really messing with my OCD.

For some reason when using the docker compose window sometimes a blank row is inserted at the end of the compose file. You can delete it by hitting edit, but it returns. On some containers it's not there... I add it (to be consistent) to but then it disappears. This makes no sense. Additionally the compose window loves to automatically add "network:{}" at the end of all my compose files. Not needed!

I deleted this three times, in Dockge itself and in the underlying file. It comes back every time.

Here I added the line. It disappears every time. What am I doing wrong? How do I get this to behave consistently? I get that it's not a major deal, but it's annoying and I like to keep my files clean.

Been using Dockge for quite a while and was finally coming here to either log this as a bug or figure out if its a feature..

Can I add to the above that I also find that a compose with multple containers removes the line spacing between each container so the compose becomes a wall of text.
