Some people are reporting this, including myself.

I'm really puzzled why dictating 'new line' would work if typing it doesn't.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/09/2018 23:18

How did that happen?

RustyBear · 24/09/2018 23:54

@ErrolTheDragon - me too - just glad it does!

I guess it must have something to do with the way the command is processed - I’ve been googling and found a forum post on the difference in coding ‘carriage return’ and ‘line feed’, but I’ve never really got to grips with coding and I really don’t know if it’s relevant.

I wish I still had a non-work laptop so I could poke around out of curiosity- I don’t know how to do anything on an iPad.

But I can copy and paste the spacing out of Rustys post in the browser, that’s a quiet alternative for those not wanting to talk to their machines at this time of nightGrin

Search function not working for me really frustrating.

TheClaws · 25/09/2018 04:11

No return key! On IPad, using web version of MN.

glagdy · 25/09/2018 04:26

Working for me.

Maybe it's a Brexit thing.

Ha - how strange

echt · 25/09/2018 05:18

And me. Have tried other sites and return key OK. Have tried 4 keyboards. It's you, MN. :o

ChishandFips33 · 25/09/2018 05:22

Same here

inquiquotiokixul · 25/09/2018 06:14

Yep. And there are 3 threads about it.

RadagastTheBrown · 25/09/2018 06:18

iPad.
iOS 12.
On the App.
Return works fine.

Datun · 25/09/2018 06:34

Still broke.

AuntieStella · 25/09/2018 06:54

It's still broken on my iPad/safari this morning (I'm not on most up to date iOS though)

ChishandFips33 · 25/09/2018 07:43

Ditto on iPhone/safari

chrisinthesun · 25/09/2018 08:53

YEP! Still not working! Only if you type what you want to put on here, into WORD, and then copy and paste it over.

user187656748 · 25/09/2018 08:57

mine is broken too. It was fine yesterday but is not workign this morning.

Bluntness100 · 25/09/2018 09:00

Weird, it works if you do the dictation thing but not otherwise. Not sure how you break that,,,,🤣

R0wantrees · 25/09/2018 10:07

Mine has started working.

How bloomi' awkward was it, when you couldn't use the enter/return key (to make paragraphs!) or search for anything?!

Bluntness100 · 25/09/2018 12:03

Working here too

Ooh...little things 🤣

ChishandFips33 · 25/09/2018 18:30
