b) The network log
c) ...

Alternatively, I also tryed pressing Enter only before that, but this just moves you to the next question.
Don't get me wrong – I'm all in for keyboard shortcuts, but usually, Shift + Enter is reserved for line breaks, while Ctrl + Enter is the submitting action.

@zznidar Could you please specify which question type had the focus when you experienced that issue? I just tried to reproduce it in a long text answer field (the only field type where new lines are supported) and I was able to add new lines without any problem.

When you hit Shift + Enter in a short text field it triggers the submission. I agree with you, that Ctrl + Enter is really more common here. Let me check if there's a reason, why we don't use this in Forms.

Yes, that's right, it was probably a short field (just 1 line of height). As I was the end user (not the creator of the form), I can only give the HTML node I see in the browser:

<input data-v-55968bd8="" data-v-fe8c8d56="" aria-label="A short answer for the question “[redacted]”" placeholder="Enter your answer" required="required" dir="auto" maxlength="4096" minlength="1" type="text" class="question__input">

Yes then it's a short text answer field that doesn't support new lines :)
