Steps to reproduce:

  • Type: a[Shift+Enter]b[Shift+Enter]c
  • It will visually appear as: 
    a
b
c
  • However, when the text is sent, it appears as: 
    ab
c
  • It incorrectly sends "ab" (no line break) followed by "c".

Another issue when breaking lines in the middle of a text:

  • Type: abcde
  • Place the mouse cursor in the middle of the word: 
    abc|de
  • Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
  • It will visually appear in the input as: 
    abc
de
  • But when sent, it will be transmitted as abcde, without the line break.

Problem when writing code blocks:

  • Type: ```[Shift+Enter]a[Shift+Enter]b[Shift+Enter]c

  • On screen it will look like:

    '```
a
b
c

  • But after sending, it appears incorrectly as:

    b
c

Expected behavior:

  • For normal text:

    a
b
c

  • For text with a line break in the middle:

    abc
de

  • For code blocks:

    a
b
c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Safari 18 on macOS Sequoia using the Talk message composer, then trace how Shift+Enter input is serialized when sent. Done means line breaks are preserved for normal text, breaks inserted in the middle of text, and code blocks, with regression coverage for these cases.
