Backslash says "ignore the following charecter". You are using it to
ignore the newline.
If you ignore the space instead, the newline then matters.
This is not a bug, this is 100% by design.
You'll need to ensure there are no trailing spaces after a backslash
(and we do recommend removing trailing spaces in general, but those are
not as damaging)
