In a codeblock on mobile, I cannot seem to add new lines by pressing Return on my keyboard.

Reproducible steps:

1. Open the post composer
2. Switch to Rich Text if you’re not already there
3. Go to the ‘more’ section [the one with the circle and a plus; I forgot its actual name]
4. Click on ‘Preformatted text’
5. Add some text into the codeblock
6. Try to add newlines by clicking the return ↩ key
7. You can’t!

On Android, Samsung A14.
