Using IE7, I cut and paste code into B3D and more often than not find several syntax errors: field types specified with "." instead of "\"; some field types not separated at all; TABs appearing in the middle of lines; lines broken with apparently missing characters...

Examples:

"Twirly special FX demo by big10p"

;
; Adds a layer to the specified, existing twirly.
; See create_star_mesh() for other params.
;
Function add_twirly_layer(twirly.twirlyT,radius#,points%,indent#,ratio%=True)

  layer.twirly_layerT = New twirly_layerT
  bs = BankSize(twirlylayer_bank)
  ResizeBank twirlylayer_bank,bs+4
  PokeInt twirlylayer_bank,bs,Handle(layer)
	
  ; Create twirly layer.
  layerent = create_star_mesh(radius,points,indent,ratio)
  PositionEntity layerent,0,0,Float(twirly
um_layers)*0.001
  EntityParent layerent,twirlypiv,1

  twirly
um_layers = twirly
um_layers + 1
  EntityFX layerent,1+4+8

End Function

"Tunnel Effect by Olive"

;allocate control points
For i = 0 To MAX_CTRL_POINTS
  CtrlPoints[i] = New TCtrlPoint
  CtrlPoints[i]x# = (i*260/MAX_CTRL_POINTS)
  CtrlPoints[i]y# = (i*460/MAX_CTRL_POINTS)
Next

Is this something unique to me or are other people having similar problems?
