Unwanted Line Breaks in PL/SQL CODE after 'CREATE OR REPLACE' statements

Question

Does anybody know how to keep SQL Developer from automatically editing PL/SQL code and adding line breaks after 'CREATE OR REPLACE' statements?
It keeps taking:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE DEVELOPER AUTHID DEFINER
And turns it into:
create or replace
package developer AUTHID DEFINER
This unwanted linebreak causes our autodeployment processes to break.
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
I believe nothing for this issue has progressed since it was asked here:
2.1 RC Extra Line Breaks
As there may be approval for some planned improvements to the SQL Formatter feature in 3.2, I logged an enhancement request for you:

But if you have control over your auto-deployment process code, it might be quicker to enhance that to deal with CREATE OR REPLACE on the same or the preceding line. Also, note that if you edit the package DDL to put the CREATE OR REPLACE on the same line with the package name in the code editor, then immediately use Export or Save Package Spec and Body to save it to disk, then PACKAGE <name> will appear on the same line as the CREATE OR REPLACE syntax.
