Upon update from 35 -> 36 I have the enter key behaving like a space key. Prior text that appeared over several lines is now appearing on the one line.

This happens on Windows 7 & Windows 8.

No problem with Chrome or IE and FF35 was fine before the update.

I don't suppose that Shift+Enter makes any difference?

Does this occur on all sites/editors, or in particular ones?

Not sure if it's relevant, but another user posted about the space bar not working in EFI E-Pace in Firefox 36 (https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1048987).

That appears to be a similar issue to mine. Shift+Enter causes a space to occur also - but only one space then nothing upon further impressions. The spacebar, again inserts one space only. The thing is something is being recorded because if I press the spacebar 3 times, one space opens the other two are ignored, but to close that space, I need to press the 'Back' key 3 times.

This is in an app in the WordPress admin. I reported it to the developer who is also experiencing the same issue upon updating to FF36.

Sounds that you are using an editor that uses HTML conventions for white-space and collapses multiple spaces and new lines to one space character. This forum works in the same way.

Did you try to use Shift+Enter like suggested above?

You may have to use a <br> code if it is possible to enter HTML code or use a <pre> tag if you need multiple spaces for formatting text.
