Observed in a session to a Linux server: when entering a command which is split into multiple lines with a backslash, e.g.

echo yay
echo yay2

the first command is executed immediately and then the prompt is filled with the 2nd one; correctly should be to use the backslash to wait for additional options, belonging to the same command
