_A feature request from one of our users:_

1. Write a post in the editor. Start with an introductory paragraph.
2. Click the ordered list (or unordered list) button.
3. Replace the highlighted “List item” text with your first list item.
4. Press enter to move to a new line.
5. The editor should pre-populate a second list item.

According to this user, this is how they expected the editor to behave (similar to Gmail and other editors).
