Cursor jumps to middle of next line on pushing return - really annoying

Hi there, when I push return in Code View my cursor always jumps to the middle of the next line which is undesirable. How can I stop this? In previous versions when you pushed return in code view, it would move the cursor in paralell with the leading character position of the current line (see below).

Version : Adobe Dreamweaver 21.3
OS version : Windows 11 Pro


Basic steps to reproduce the problem:

TAB TAB TABSome Code [On Pushing Return Cursor wrongly jumps to position marked by [X] below]

TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB TABTAB TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB [X]


The cursor should jump to here (see below):

TAB TAB TABSome Code [On Pushing Return Cursor SHOULD jump to position marked by [X] below]

TAB TAB TAB[X]

I have Code View Options > Auto Indent disabled (Not Ticked)
Enabling this feature make no difference to this behaviour.

Thanks in advance.

Go to VIEW > CODE VIEW OPTIONS. 

Are Word Wrap and Hidden Characters enabled?

 

Does this happen with all documents & files or just certain ones?

Does your document contain error-free code  -- denoted by a green checkmark in a circle?
