Description

The languageserver prevents me from opening a new line within a function call:
If I hit enter while typing:

tibble(a = 1:10, b = 2:11, _)

It automatically deletes the newline. This is annoying because sometimes I want to manually format the code.
I see the same behavior in eglot and lsp-mode in Emacs.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Thanks.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior by pressing Enter within the shown tibble call, using either eglot or lsp-mode as described. Trace the language server's handling of newlines inside function calls and confirm that a manually inserted newline is preserved without breaking formatting or editing behavior.
