This is not a bug, this is the standard behaviour of the compiler.

The rule is: when reading an expression, or the second argument of an 
operator, a single newline is ignored.

This allows you to write complex expressions on several lines.

For example, you can write:

a = b & c & d &
    e & f & g

But not:

a = b & c & d
    & e & f & g
