The newline acts like a regular space between the two rectangles.
You can either draw the two rectangles on a single input line:
\Z@...@\Z@...@
or hide the newline with a backslash:
\Z@...@\

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
My goal is to make on rectangle slightly bigger to draw a border but if the
