What's Wrong?

In previous versions of Claude Code for Windows (probably 2 or 3 versions ago now) I was able to hit Shift+Enter, and get to a new line to continue adding info. Now when i hit it, it just sends the message right away. There's no longer a way to get to new line.

I've tried Shift+Enter, CTRL+Enter, and Alt+Enter and none of them work.

What Should Happen?

Shift+Enter should've gone to the next line instead of sending my reply.
