Step to reproduce : - **send** a message (eg. a small code snippet) - **edit** that message and add markdown code block (`your code`) - press enter to save again Expected : the message is saved What happened : it keeps jump to a new line and there is no way to save ![Capture d’écran du 2022-09-23 12-31-09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/9/923dc2feffa5e13c7ae28e76ce9206365763f438.png) Same behavior with the software client and the web client. ---

Hi TearsOfSky and welcome to the Mattermost forums! I’m unable to follow your reproduction instructions, sorry. So on the desktop client you can send a message using the code block formatting just fine. Afterwards, when you want to edit this message and add an additional line to it, f.ex., you’re then unable to save it, is that correct? If so, I’m unable to reproduce that on my test systems here. What mattermost server version are you using? What mattermost desktop client version are you using? What operating system are you working on? ---

Hello agriesser, Not exactly. You send a message in plaintext, without formatting it. Then, you edit that message and you add the code block, and you try to save it again. Server : 6.6.1 Desktop : 5.1.1, also tried with the web client OS : Debian Buster 10 ---

Step 1: Enter text without formatting ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/3/30fec9f606f6285c39e39422dc3776851b534834.png) Step 2: Start editing ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/3/3a15f91788896b841372cfeafce5f18624043f4b.png) Step 3: Finish editing and hit save ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/f/fb06656e8640f6cad5be75ed68f5b31275ccf397.png) Result: ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/5/5d6dd6fa48bae818421f9e0f1a4854bf33ab2aef.png) It seems as if the syntax detection does not work upon editing and defaults to some non-specific value, you can (however) force the syntax detection which will then make it look like you entered the code correctly right from the beginning: Step 3, Method 2: ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/e/e43cfefe28405e175565cec38c248eb4d58970d0.png) Result: ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/d/d57239f3526d331093481e537ced62614f37bd9f.png) This has been tested on 7.2.0 - let me know if your experience differs from mine here and if so, in what step so I can try to spin up a 6.6.1 instance and try to dig a bit deeper here. ---

Thank you for your answer. I don’t have the “save” and “cancel” buttons in my version, probably because it was added in 7.2 : [Redirect](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/self-managed-changelog.html#release-v7-2-feature-release) > - Added **Save** and **Cancel** buttons for post inline editing. So, the only way for me to save a message is to press Enter. ![Capture d’écran du 2022-09-23 13-59-44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mattermost/original/2X/6/65a4b000e9ee689d2afff3d1a66cd9359d94e0bb.png) That’s why i’ve jumps in my initial message. ---

Doesn’t really matter - the buttons just emulate the `ENTER`and `ESCAPE` events, but I booted my 6.6.1 installation now and found out that hitting ENTER did not close the box, but CTRL-ENTER does (the rest behaves exactly the same). So please just use CTRL-ENTER to close the box. ---

CTRL+Enter works, thank you !
