Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Add a database connection to an Oracle data source.

Create a new stored procedure, select all of the contents, and paste the following single line of source code:
```
      CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2 (A DEC, B DEC, C DEC) AS BEGIN
      RETURN; END; 
```

Hit the enter key to insert line breaks. Edit the stored procedure to look as follows:


      CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2 (A DEC, B DEC, C DEC)
      AS BEGIN RETURN; END;

Save, close, and reopen the stored procedure.

Click to the left of the open parenthesis, and press enter so that the code appears as follows:


      CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2
      (A DEC, B DEC, C DEC)
      AS BEGIN RETURN; END;

Click to the left of A, and press enter. Repeat for B, C, and the closing parenthesis as follows:


      CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2
      (
      A DEC,
      B DEC,
      C DEC
      )
      AS BEGIN RETURN; END;

Save, close, and reopen the stored procedure.

RESULT: Parameters appear back on the first line as follows:


   CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2  ( A DEC,  B DEC,  C DEC )
   AS BEGIN RETURN; END;

EXPECTED RESULT: Source should be consistent with what was saved as follows:


   CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCEDURE2
   (
   A DEC,
   B DEC,
   C DEC
   )
   AS BEGIN RETURN; END;
