Yes, I think it is a bug that the Command Window works differently. I think that is why I had so many problems with Command Window for multi-line, given that I most often pasted my own code there.

I assume that you'll report the bug. That way you get a number if it is accepted. We normal people get NOTHING, accepted or not.
