DAX editor: Shift-Enter adds the ABS function

[DataInsights]

Hello,

After upgrading to the Power BI Desktop July 2022 edition, I noticed odd behavior in the DAX editor. If you press Shift-Enter to add a line break, and that line ends with a comma, the ABS function gets added. See example below.

1. Create a measure and end the line with a comma:

2. Press Shift-Enter:

If you then remove the ABS function and press Shift-Enter, it adds a line break.

This is an extremely frustrating bug, that we must wait an entire month to be truly fixed. 

For a year and a half, hundreds of times a day we have been pressing Shift + Enter for a line break that keeps formatting indent.  Now, for a month, we should use Alt + Enter to sort-of adapt. This starts the line without the correct indent.  This is a bug created by the Microsoft team, but its customers must endure the outcome for a month. 

PowerBI auto-updates, and then can't rollback to a previous version. 

Just, thanks.

Just an update on this issue. The Aug 2022 version of PowerBI only partially resolved the issue - using the Shift+Enter does take you to the next line instead of selecting the first line from the suggestion menu, but, on the new line, the auto intendation doesn't occur as the new line always starts from the far left instead of keeping the indentation of the previous line like it did when this used to work properly. So, still somewhat annoying as you have to press the tab key a few times to get where it should be.

@ABPowerBI, good catch.

@v-cazheng-msft, should we expect this fix in the Sept 2022 version, or can it be fixed sooner?
