2I have seen this when I've opened an old .sql file that was probably generated in an older version of SSMS than the one I am currently using. If I click "yes" to normalize and save the file, I never get the warning again for that file. – Tab Alleman Jun 11 '15 at 19:07

Because you have some lines ended with a CR/LF pair, and some lines ending with just a CR or LF (basically mixing Apple, Unix, and Windows conventions somehow). If you're copying and pasting from one editor into MSSMS, it could be that editor handles line-endings differently. You should pretty much just normalize them when it happens. To fix it permanently, you'll have to figure out where the mixed line-endings are coming from (most likely from your copy/paste source).
