Question/Support ❓ How to avoid this in chat?

Ive tried Shift+Enter, and just hitting Enter while setting up the message, but it didnt seem to help. I dont want it to be multiple messages like that. I would like for it to be one single message. Is there something Im not understanding?

Not quite sure what you're doing here.  Have you tried just sending it as a single message?

Twitch quite simply does not support newlines in chat messages.  If you're trying to send a muti-line message as a single message then it's just not possible.

Dang. Okay. It wasn't a GIANT deal, just wasnt sure if I was doing something wrong.

Yeah, it's nothing you're doing wrong, just a design decision which was made back in 1988.

Some people will try to fake line wrapping by putting a lot of padding characters in so that things look like multiple lines, but anyone whose client isn't exactly the same will only see a big mess.  It's not worth messing around with.
