Re-checked - they should be visible in the screenshot (maybe you didn't scroll the image to the right?) Ok, I have two continuation backslashes in the end of the screen line with soccer balls. But what I wanted to note is that on continuation lines, I get equal column numbers at different screen positions. I've now made two screenshots with point at each EOL, to show that screen positions are different.
