Description
When hitting enter in a markdown autoresize textarea, the textarea is not resized until the enter key is released which leads to the text jumping up one line before it drops down again. I have observed this behavior in Chrome and FF. While the browser adds the new character to the textarea, it does not make it available via `.val()` until the key is released.
The following code is hideous, but addresses the issue. I wonder whether there are more elegante ways around this.
```
