How did you edited it?
What machine, OS and editor?

And it shows code from the plugin like:

I know what it shows… no need to post a lot of code.
It is because of your editor’s settings: it saves the file with wrong line breaks!
Earlier there were a lof of posts about happening the same with themes.
Sorry about that, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page… So the solution is just to use a more basic editor, making sure it doesn’t keep the line breaks, and voila fixed?
It should keep the linebreaks – but they need to be Unix, not Mac.
Check if your editor has such a setting to change from Mac breaks (CR) to Unix (LF).
Fixed it.. Just saved it using WP’s built in editor.. and voila. 🙂 Thanks
