Shift+Enter no longer creates new line without moving cursor

Steps to reproduce

  • Be in version 1.8.3 of Obsidian (for broken behaviour) or version <1.7.7 (for intended behaviour)
  • Be in a note editor with your cursor on an empty line
  • Press Shift+Enter

Expected result

A newline to be created, while the cursor remains in the same location.

Actual result

The newline is created, but the cursor moves with it - essentially performing the same action as having simply pressed Enter

Environment

SYSTEM INFO:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Update installer: installer version too low, please download from Download - Obsidian and reinstall.

Additionally, I have tested this out on an older version of Obsidian that I have not updated on my laptop, where the intended behaviour still exists;

For what it’s worth, I appear to be having the reverse of this post;

I want this behaviour to exist, and when upgrading from 1.7.7 to 1.8.3
I have been able to test this out in the current version, as well as the older version, both of which were in new sandbox vaults, with no community plugins.

We’ll double check this. This may be an upstream change.

I can repro on MBP + Sequoia 15.2 + Sandbox Vault :blush: : Hitting Shift + Enter or Enter bears the same result: a newline is created and the cursor is moved along.

Obsidian Shift-Enter

I couldn’t repro with Obsidian 1.7.7 + Installer 1.7.7 but I can repro with Obsidian 1.8.3 + Installer 1.7.7.
