Pressing enter while writing the post title will add a new line in the title

[mrfoxtalbot]

Pressing enter while editing the title will add a "line break" inside the title, instead of jumping to the content and adding a new block right under the title.

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to move from the post/page title to the very first block in the post/page, similarly to the way the editor works in the desktop/browser version.

Actual behavior

Instead of taking me to the first block in the post, the editor seemed to add a new line break within the title itself.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a new post
2. Start writing a title
3. Press enter in order to skip from the title to the content

Thanks for reporting this @mrfoxtalbot!

Appears to be a regression of #1057. @jhnstn would it be possible to fit this one in as part of your maintenance rotation this week?

I've dug into this but haven't been able to pin point the issue (I've run into a local debugging issue). What I found so far is that
this onEnterKey callback is not fired when the character preceding the cursor is alpha numeric. If there is a space or punctuation (I've only tested this later bit with a few characters) the callback is fired and you see the expected behavior.

I got stuck trying to debug these two code blocks #, # in the Aztec Android editor.

I believe that handleBackspaceAndEnter in Gutenberg is being called for enter key events (in the cases described above) but it looks like that function is only being registered for hardware key events only. I also noticed that in the Aztec demo app I am not able to see that function being called with a soft keyboard. This is where I got stuck. I was unable to load the Aztec Android library locally in Gutenberg so I could debug these observations.

tl;dr I can only reproduce the issue when the character preceding the cursor is alpha numeric. In this case I noticed a onEnterKey callback is not being called.

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue on the latest versions of the apps. I tried both the Samsung Keyboard and the Gboard. Here's a video on WPAndroid 18.2-rc-3 where I fail to reproduce:

I can only reproduce the issue when the character preceding the cursor is alpha numeric.

I specifically tried reproducing by putting the cursor after an alphanumeric character. I'm not sure if the underlying issue has now been fixed or instead I'm not following the correct steps to reproduce.

Sidenote: I wasn't able to reproduce on iOS and don't see any mention here of iOS, so I'll just add the "[OS] Android" label here to indicate this is Android-specific.

I can no longer reproduce it in Android either (Alpha-319). I will defer to you @designsimply, but I think we can close this one.

[guarani]

Thanks for confirming it's no longer reproducible, @mrfoxtalbot!

@mchowning do you agree we can close this? (I believe @designsimply is not actively working on this project.)

[mchowning]

👍 Yes, let's close it!
