I am creating text in drafting, V5R18. Sometimes, when I try to add multi-line text in a view, when I hit return, it exits the text editor instead of going to next line of text to type more. Has anyone seen this odd behavior? Are there any fixes? I restarted my computer and I have the same issue.

My current work-around is this: I have copied a RETURN from another multi-line text on the drawing, and pasted it (the RETURN) into the new text editor just to get another line of text.
 
Well that is the fix, the old behavior was odd but we got used to it. Think it was fixed on R18 so now it works like it does in other systems like excel, you have to use shift+enter or ctrl+enter to get the line feed.
 
Thanks Azrael,

Using Shift+Enter is a better work-around than what I was doing before.

Have a great day.
