If line breaks are used in the "compare two values" event for organizational purposes of the code, the event is displayed badly and illegible.

For a line break press SHIFT + ENTER.

Compare two values is for comparing one value or expression against another. I'm not sure what you're doing here but it's not a bug.

It is a bug. His example is merely to showcase the problem. If you use line breaks in the "Compare two values", it becomes illegible.

One might want to compare the sum of variables against another one and organise things with line breaks, only to get a mangled text as a result.

It's a small bug but not a big problem, just don't use line breaks for redundant 'organising'. The bug is to do with line breaks, not the compare two values condition which the topic suggests.

Just because you find this to be a "small problem" doesn't mean it shouldn't be adressed. There was absolutely no need to shut him down like you did.

Doubtful UI issues are going to get fixed in C2. They are one of the reasons why there is a C3.

A proper bug report needs to be made though.

I would have filled in a template but it does not exist, I do not know why they have eliminated it.

I'm afraid we're unable to help unless you follow the bug report requirements, including attaching a project demonstrating the issue. Closing.
