PowerShell Here-String that keeps newlines

In ISE works fine and in script works too. I don't remember where, but I read that is a bug in the console host code and empty lines are discarded when entered interactively for here-string. At the moment I can't test if in Powershell V.3.0 console bug is fixed.

Workaround: add a backticks `

$string = @"
Line 1
`
Line 3
"@
