Dreamweaver doesn't minify scripts. But many web servers do.

GZIP compression reduces file size by up to 70% and is enabled by default on most commercial web hosting plans.

My host does not have GZIP compression, and my line break is correct... not sure why this is happening. it continues to minify.

Are you using a CSS preprocessor?

Another possibility, you have the wrong type of line break selected in Preferences > Code Format.

Use CR LF (Win), CR (Mac), LF (Unix).
