What happened?

The message input box is focused, and a newline inserted (but not always, it seems to be timing-dependent).

You maybe need Use Ctrl + Enter to send a message to be enabled

I still can't repro :( @ilmari, what would you say are the chances that you're holding the key for a bit too long or your device being a bit slow (searching the room-list can be expensive, afaik) with registering the key went up?

[ilmari]

How long I hold the key doesn't seem to affect it, but it happens more often when I type the name (or a short prefix of it) quickly and hit enter before the room list has finished filtering. Then, after that finishes and focus moves back to the text input field, I can see the newline appear.

The device isn't particularly slow (2.7GHz Core i7 laptop), but it's Firefox Extended Support Release (because Debian), so a quite old version (78). I can see if it happens on my similarly-specced Ubuntu laptop with Firefox 91 later.

[ilmari]

I can reproduce it on Firefox 92 too, but because it's much snappier the time window is smaller (i.e. I have to hit enter much quicker after typing in the room filter box).
