Tormach's manual specifically calls out putting them all on the same line (section 7.7.3 in the 1100 manual). The post-processor that I use for HSM Works puts them all on one line.

I suspect that Tormach "strongly advises" this as a best practice, just so you don't forget to do it, and so if you edit the code later on and change the tool number, that you won't forget to change which height offset is applied at the same time. PP show still react in the exact same way, even if the tool change and the height offset are separated by a few lines.
To the OP: I seem to (vaguely) recall having an exact similar problem with PP earlier on. IIRC, shutting down and restarting didn't change anything, and think I ended up just doing a re-install of PP.
