Line break (Shift+enter) doesn't work always

What’s The Bug?

I use shift+enter a lot when adding to a text. But sometimes it doesn’t work and when I close AnyType and opening it again, it does work.
This is what I’ve noticed so far:
It doesn’t work when the application is started automatically when booting up my MacBook.
But it sometimes happens too, when I have it running for some time, and then find out that it doesn’t work :frowning:

How To Reproduce It

Go to the end of a highlighted text, press shift+enter, then it should always expand the current highlighted line into 2 lines, move the cursor to line 2 when you can start typing.
But as I said, sometimes, pushing shift+enter doesn’t do anything at all (unless I reboot AnyType).

The Expected Behavior

That shift+enter will always expand the current line type , and it will be positions on the next added line of the same type.

Hi @Marcelloh,

Could you please make a screen recording of the issue? I’m having trouble reproducing it on my Mac.

Also, just to clarify, this is a line break:

This is created with ---. But it seems like you might be referring to either a new block or just a new line within a block.

To sum up, could you provide more details about the problem you’re encountering and the exact steps to reproduce it?

Thanks a lot!

what you show is a line divider :wink:

Anyways. It’s hard to predict this strange behaviour because it’s not always. And… what would you see, if you don’t see my type shift-enter on the screen recording. I think the recording would add no value to this issue (because the recording won’t prove it)

We will try to reproduce this, thanks.

I want to add that sometimes enter doesn’t work as well.

The most often scenario that I experienced (though I cannot purposely reproduce): Doing formatting adjustments from pasting materials into Anytype (e.g. only breaking up paragraphs into blocks or lines, instead of inputting text)

  • Sometimes when I create new block, at certain point, enter performs line break.
  • And other times when I do line break, at certain point, line break create new block instead.

Before I record this video, with the same paragraph, line break was working as enter/ block creation. Then I restore the object to a former state, attempting to record the same behaviour. This time, when I record, enter worked as line break.

Note: I experienced this bug more with Traditional Chinese (Chanjie) than English.
