            Bug ID: 100800
           Summary: Pressing Enter always creates a paragraph, not a
                    simple line-break
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When I am typing, and press the [Enter] key, I intend to insert a simple
line-break. 
LO automatically converts this to a new paragraph, and there is no way to
remove this, short of selecting the paragraph break, deleting it, then going
"edit - insert -manual-break -line break".

(If I wanted a paragraph, I'd put in a blank line i.e. 2x Enter key).

I'm sure this level of "autocorrect" is delightful to those who want to edit
long documents in a "latex" type mode (where the typesetting tool knows best),
but it is rather frustrating to those who want LO to act like a nice
simple-minded text-editor which can also do bolds and underlines....

Please can we at least have a way to globally turn this off?

At the same time that this happened, I also noticed the related behaviour that
it is extremely hard to coax Writer into having two consecutive lines (without
an extra-tall whitespace) which are differently aligned. 
Eg.   a centered-headline, a hard-linebreak (which is not a paragraph break),
then right-aligned author-name.

Thanks
