Is this another MS Access 2000(2007)-ism?

If I type the following:

```
foo =    blah + blah   - bar

```

the editor automatically reformats it as

```
foo = blah + blah - bar

```

But I type:

```
Dim foobar     as long

```

the editor doesn't reformat it at all. Some how I expect it to reformat it to

```
Dim foobar as long

```

Did it always work this way (I haven't got an older version to check against)?
