With wordpress version 3.3.1, shift-enter to insert linebreaks in pages and posts is not working anymore. Has anybody observed this as well? Is there a fix for that?

Thanks!

It's working for me -- have you checked your source code on the published post to see if <br> tags are being inserted?

If so, you may want to check your CSS to make sure nothing is over-riding the
tags.

One of the biggest culprits can be float: left being applied to the line breaks.

No, I don't get any <br> tags in the source. It's just a newline in the html source code itself. – johann Feb 26 '12 at 9:01
Clarification: I don't see <br> tags neither in the source code nor in the html editor, but I do see other tags like <h1>. When switching between editor modes, I see the <br> tags for a fraction of a second, so it looks like some javascript/jquery might be removing those tags? At least they don't make it to the database. By the way, the same accounts for manually inserting <br> tags with the html editor - all get removed. – johann Feb 26 '12 at 9:19
make sure this isn't in your theme php file anywhere: <?php remove_filter ('the_content', 'wpautop'); ?> -- otherwise it could be your instance of tinyMCE is just not functioning properly... or could be a browser thing.. have you tried in different browsers, or tried a reinstall of WP core? – timshutes Mar 24 '12 at 21:48
I'm assuming you've tried this... but just in case - have you tried disabling all plugins and rechecking? – timshutes Apr 16 '12 at 1:56
