Nexus 7 enter key not working, how can I fix this?

Nexus 7 enter key not working

Last night the enter key on my nexus would not enter remarks made on facebook posts. When I type a remark and hit the enter arrow on my Nexus 7, the curser moves down, but the remark will not enter. Works OK on my desktop, so it must be a Nexus problem !

Does this only happen in the Facebook app? If so, have you tried clearing app cache and data for the Facebook app?

I'm not sure about Facebook but in many apps you can define the action for the enter key (send or add a new line). Search in the Facebook settings for such an option.

Lots of people have this problem, it started with the recent update to chrome browser. I have reported it to google product support. In the meantime I am using firefox which doesn't have the problem. I am guessing an update to chrome will be out soon to fix it.

I've seen a reply from google saying this is to be investigated. Fingers crossed.

If you install Chrome Beta ver 49 you can post in facebook as normal.

This problem is now resolved after an update to Chrome version 49 was released a couple of days back.
