**My App/Pages support link:**

- Instructions: [Support](http://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/account/support#support-link)

**Describe the bug:**  
If a user types in any of these characters “-”, "–“ or "—” the rich text field will automatically assume a linebreak (which is not true)

**Expected behavior:**  
It should only insert a linebreak whenever the end of the box is reached.

**How to replicate:**

1. Use a rich text field
2. Type in a sentence and use some n or m-dashes
3. See the result in the frontend

**Link to demo recording (optional):**  
You could look it up on my app (app(dot)kampadre(dot)ch)

I tried replicating the issue but it doesn’t appear for me. Can you send a screenshot or a video?
