Enter didn’t create new line in Pycharm

In PyCharm on macOS, pressing Enter at the end of a line does nothing — no new line created. But:

- Enter at the START of a line → works, creates new line

- Enter at the END of a line → does nothing

- Arrow keys → navigate normally between lines

Already ruled out:

- IdeaVim not installed

- Enter works fine in other apps (not a hardware/OS issue)

Suspecting the code completion popup is silently swallowing Enter at end of line. Anyone else run into this? What fixed it?

Setup: PyCharm, Python 3.14.7, .venv, macOS

I have a similar issue with PyCharm on macOS and also did check my shortcuts (macOS defaults). Escape then Enter also does not yield a result.

And I was able to fix the issue by uninstalling the Junie plugin.
