As others have stated before, switching from Script tab to the Manual tab and back completely reformats the code and introduces bugs.

See [Disable autoformat when switching mode or save test case · Issue #353 · katalon-studio/katalon-studio · GitHub](https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-studio/issues/353) & [Is it possible to stop editor from inserting blank lines between statements in script mode](http://forum.katalon.com/t/is-it-possible-to-stop-editor-from-inserting-blank-lines-between-statements-in-script-mode/21220)

I have not seen any update on this issue and wondering if anyone has figured out how to disable it as it is a major issue for our team.

Hi @jalarie

Welcome to Katalon community,  
Katalon Studio offers 2 modes for separate usage so the switching between them is not recommended.  
Please read [this topic](http://forum.katalon.com/t/is-it-possible-to-stop-editor-from-inserting-blank-lines-between-statements-in-script-mode/21220/17) for further information.

Regards,  
Nam Nguyen.
