What's Wrong?

Shift+Enter no longer inserts newline in web UI chat input Body: As of ~[date], Shift+Enter submits the message instead of inserting a line break. Chrome, standard keyboard. Was working previously. Short, sweet, reproducible — that's all they need.Something like: Title: Shift+Enter no longer inserts newline in web UI chat input Body: As of ~[date], Shift+Enter submits the message instead of inserting a line break.

What Should Happen?

Shift+Enter no longer inserts newline in web UI chat input Body: As of ~[date], Shift+Enter submits the message instead of inserting a line break. Chrome, standard keyboard. Was working previously. Short, sweet, reproducible — that's all they need.Something like: Title: Shift+Enter no longer inserts newline in web UI chat input Body: As of ~[date], Shift+Enter submits the message instead of inserting a line break. Chrome, standard keyboard. Was working previously.

BEST PRACTICE: Send/Submit button on chat prompt box, allows "Enter" to do what it's supposed to do on a text editor, and that is a char return/new line interaction like in the box this text was made in.

UPSIDE: No more half entries being submitted becuase erroniously becuase I fat-fingered the Enter button.
