Pressing enter no longer submits

UPDATED FIX – ChatGPT Enter Key Not Working in Microsoft Edge

If pressing Enter no longer submits your message in ChatGPT when using Edge, here’s what worked for me after testing a bunch of things:

:white_check_mark: WORKING FIXES:
Fix 1: Maximize the ChatGPT window — Enter key will start working again.
Fix 2: Press Windows + Alt + Enter instead of just Enter.
Fix 3: Press Tab 6 times, then hit Enter.
*These solutions were provided by others in this feed, I’d like to thank them for the find and share.

:cross_mark: WHAT DIDN’T WORK:
Ctrl + Enter
Shift + Enter
Clearing cache/cookies
Private/incognito mode
Injecting code in Developer Tools

:light_bulb: KEY DISCOVERY:
If you manually resize the ChatGPT window until the top-left icon changes from a hamburger (☰) to a side panel icon, Enter will start working. That UI shift seems to be the trigger.

Hope this saves someone else a headache.
