One of the powerful changes we saw in Acrobat DC was the ability to edit full paragraphs, hit Return key to start a new paragraph, or even better hit Return key in a middle of bullet list to insert new bullet or number automatically. This used to work till recently, perhaps till latest update.

My Acrobat Pro build is 18.9.20050.254034, when enter Edit workspace to edit the text, it shows each line separately just like we used to see it back in Acrobat XI and prior, see image below…

In Acrobat Pro DC (build17) I used to see content on this page from number .1 Beeswax, all the way down to 3. Furniture (…) as one continuous paragraph, so when I edit it in Acrobat, I place the cursor before the word 2. Spa and hit return, it creates new line with the number 2, and "Spa" is pushed down to become number 3. as if I'm using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Did the new build do this? Or is there a Preferences setting that I changed unknowingly?
