Cypress creates a new line (<br> tag) after entering the first letter of a word in text area.

Current behavior:

Cypress creates a new line after entering the first letter of a word.

Desired behavior:

The code should not create new line and enter letter like "Who"
not like "W
ho"

Steps to reproduce:

Code:-

cy.get("<text area locator>").should('be.visible')
        .type("Who", { force: true })

The above code is creating a new line after entering 'W' letter.

W
ho

This is also happening to me. The field I type into is

<div aria-describedby="placeholder-rq89" class="notranslate public-DraftEditor-content" contenteditable="true" role="textbox" spellcheck="true" style="outline: none; user-select: text; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div data-contents="true"><div class="classname" data-block="true" data-editor="rq89" data-offset-key="67lbi-0-0"><div data-offset-key="67lbi-0-0" class="public-classname"><span data-offset-key="67lbi-0-0"><span data-text="true">Text here</span></span></div></div></div></div>

Want to add also that when I save changes after editing these fields it only gets stored the first letter typed -In the example provided above would be 'W'-.

@Pankajshuklaqa why are you using {force: true} ? Cypress should not have to force a type into an element with contenteditable.
Also, does a <br> show up if you manually type enter in the field?
And what event listeners are on the element? keyup for example ?

@bkucera will try to remove {force: true}
Yes, <br> show up when manually type enter in the field.

here are the event listeners on the element:-

I've got the fix for this coming up in a patch release. Still working on related issues before submitting a PR
