Commenting issues on website

When commenting on an article, when pressing enter to start a new paragraph, the cursor instead moves to the beginning of the comment, meaning if, for example, you press the enter button twice and don't realise what has happened, you end up moving your paragraph down one line. The system however does 'create' a new paragraph at the bottom as it should (I hope this explanation makes sense).

Note:

This is only when commenting in articles - when replying to/starting forum posts (such as this), pressing enter starts a new paragraph correctly.
This happens when in Microsoft Edge (I haven't tried in other browsers / W10 app yet). I do not know if this Edge exclusive, or even just exclusive to me, although I know this never used to happen in Edge.

I was just about to post a similar thread when I saw yours.

You're not alone. However, it happens to me when commenting on articles on the main page. Not in the forurms. Example typing this reply, and pressing enter to go to another paragraph will work as normal.

In the comments section in the main articles however, it happens as you describe. Pressing enter takes the cursor back to the the beginning. To get to the next line, I use shift + enter

P.S I'm using Edge.
