Issue with Shift+Enter and paragraph spacing

Hi, I am writing to report an issue with how text formatting currently behaves in Lucidchart.

Previously (a few months ago?), using Shift+Enter allowed me to create a line break (soft return) without triggering paragraph spacing. This was very useful for keeping text tight within a single block.

Currently, Shift+Enter adds the same vertical gap as a regular Enter. This makes it impossible to distinguish between a new line and a new paragraph, which disrupts the layout of my diagrams.

Could you please check if this is a bug or a recent change in settings? I would like to have the "soft return" functionality back to avoid unwanted spacing between lines.
