Line breaks that stay line breaks
- fixed Messages written with line breaks now keep them in the bubbles everywhere chats appear: your inbox, the embed, and the full-page chats behind your links. They had been collapsing into one long line.
- fixed On the full-page chats, Shift+Enter now adds a line break instead of sending the message halfway through. Until now a typed line break was only possible by pasting.
When someone pasted an address, a recipe, or a numbered list into a chat, every line break silently vanished. The message arrived as one long run-on line, and the fix turned out to be two fixes.
The breaks were never lost in transit. They traveled intact through the chat server and were stored intact; the browser simply collapsed them when drawing the bubble, because that is what web pages do with plain text unless told otherwise. One style rule now tells bubbles to honor line breaks, everywhere chats render: your inbox, the embed on your site, and the full-page chats behind your links.
The second fix is about typing those breaks in the first place. On the full-page chats, Shift+Enter used to send the half-written message. Now Shift+Enter adds a line, and Enter sends, matching how the embed and your inbox already behaved.
