Press “Enter” twice. The first “Enter” creates a new line, and the second sends the empty message.
Expected Result: The second “Enter” should not send an empty message, or it should prompt an error. Actual Result: An empty message is sent, and ChatGPT responds, saying, “Looks like your message didn’t come through. Could you please resend it?”

This behavior is known and expected. The newline is treated as a token, and the model processes every token, regardless of its type. You can achieve the same result by pressing the spacebar.
Interestingly, in the past, it was possible to have the model generate random text on an empty input, but the last time I checked, this behavior had changed, and we now receive a ‘I didn’t get your message’ type of reply.
While it might be surprising, it’s not a bug per se, and I wouldn’t expect it to be ‘fixed.’
