It's not a bug, it's a feature!
(programming.dev)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
It's not a bug just because the software doesn't conform to your personal preferences. You're asking for what would be considered an enhancement - not a bug fix.
But
why would several blank lines be the default behavior
I don't know the reason. I think not having the extra blank lines would be better, but it works just fine as is - even the post admits this much. That's why it's an enhancement. It's possible for software to be functional and consistent and still have room for improvement - that doesn't mean there is a bug.
