I am encountering an intermittent issue, that occurs across multiple computers. These are the specific bugs I have been experiencing:

1. Pressing Enter after typing a prompt sometimes starts regenerating the previous response, instead of just submitting the new query, this causes a “One request at a time” error to appear for the new query.
2. Shift+Enter does not work as expected. When the above bug occurs, it is usually accompanied by Shift+Enter submitting the query, instead of creating a new line in the prompt.

Steps to reproduce:  
Pressing enter to submit a query, or pressing Shift+Enter to create a new line in the prompt.

This started happening about 2 months ago, and has intermittently, but frequently, occurred ever since.

Enter Key For AI , You can download it for free and it’s quite useful from the Chrome Web Store.

Enter Key For AI from Firefox ADD-ONS.

By the way, this plugin was developed by me. Feel free to leave me a message if you encounter any issues.
