does this happen in the help vault?
Does this happen with US layout or there is something special with Spanish ISO?

Does it happen in source mode?

7

Yes. It happens in the help vault.
No, it does not happen with US.

How do I get to source more?

I added another video to the folder using the help vault.

8

IF you close and reopen the document, does enter work?
can you attach here a copy of file where enter is not working?

TO try source mode, use the bottom option

It only happens using live preview.

I have the feeling that when you use the Spanish keyboard, you unwilling enter some weird character or you trigger some dead key behavior.

I have had other user press alt-space instead of just space and this was creating problems in bullet lists.

At 0.32sec the parsed link already looks odd (the brackets have different colors).

Thank you for taking the time for testing!

12

So these are the keys that I am typing.

command + shift + N
Typing the title
return
control + space bar
Typing something
return
Typing link.
option + [[
Down arrow (selecting Title bar)
tab
option + 3
Down arrow (selecting Window management)
tab
option + 1 (to get | )
Space bar ******* I think the bug is here ******
Typing the new display name
return
return
then it stops creating a new line.

13

Never mind. I think it is when I type ``and then delete it.

Yes, so I want to get the brackets [[ , but I forget to press option then [[.
That is why I get ``. I then delete it and type the brackets.

I think that is what is causing the bug.

14

If you don’t do that, it works?

Ok so this is another weird dead key problem.

15

So I tried it with the US keyboard by purposefully pressing the backtick ``.
I delete it and type the brackets [[
I do the usual
down arrow
Title bar
Shift + 3 to get #
down arrow to select Window management
Shift + \ to get |
Type a new display name
return
return
return again and I get the bug.

16

By US keyboard, you mean the the standard one or the international one? Post a screen recording.

The keyboard that comes by default.
Sure.

I don’t really know why I can’t recreate them. I tried to recreate the bug using the US keyboard, but I couldn’t.

Here is another video recording using the Spanish ISO, which does recreate the bug.
