**WHAT IS THE BUG**

_Pressing “Enter” to create a new line block behaves as if though I were pressing “Shift+Enter”_

**HOW TO REPRODUCE IT**

The problem is exactly this, it just happens randomly. I have tried everything to get a somewhat consistent way to recreate the problem but at least from what I can tell, it truly starts and stops at random.  
I thought I had an incling on how to replicate the issue; I thought it was a problem that happened everytime I Alt+Tabbed to another window. Unfortunately though, I realized the problem also happened if I had the window in focus, mid way through typing. So I am not sure if the ALT+TAB is related, I highly doubt it at this point, but I still wanted to mention it, especially since I have nothing else to go off of.

**THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR**

_When I press Enter I just expect a clean line break. But it just randomly decides to behave as if though I were pressing Shift+Enter and creates a continous line block, as opposed to the break. I also attached an image just for further clarification on what I mean when I say that it behaves like “Shift+Enter”. It’s apparent because of the continous block element on the very left._

**ADDITIONAL CONTEXT**

_I did see some previous Bug Reports that had a similar problem. Some of them going back to 2021, and they are reported as having been fixed. I am attaching some of the aforementioned posts just for reference:_

- [Shift + Enter to create a line break doesn't work](https://community.anytype.io/t/shift-enter-to-create-a-line-break-doesnt-work/2402)
- [Line break (Shift+enter) doesn't work always](https://community.anytype.io/t/line-break-shift-enter-doesnt-work-always/23562)

Also, haven’t posted here since I think the Alpha, forgive me if something about my post isn’t right like the topic, or location of the post.
