Adding the newline character ensures tempfile.do runs, even when there's only one line sent to the file.
I was having an issue where I couldn't send the line I had my cursor on without fully selecting it. Even then it would fail to run sometimes. I'm guessing it's because Stata requires an end-of-line character to actually run the line (which didn't exist when there's only one line selected). This seems to have fixed it for me.
