But they *were* requested!
Pressing the enter key (that is, requesting for a line break) on most
languages requires the insertion of a virtual blank;
only a few languages not using spaces at all won't need that.
But if you type in English "Open<enter>file" you want to produce
something like:

msgstr ""
"Open "
"file"

and *NOT* something like

msgstr ""
"Open"
"file"

The second too, the second even more than the first.
