This is really annoying. While in the stock text messaging app on my Droid X, the keyboard no longer has the "return" key. It has been replaced by a "smiley" key instead. There is no way to do a carriage return, skip a line, etc. while in the text messaging app. I have tried both the Swype keyboard and the Multi Touch keyboard, and they both have the problem.
The "return" key is there in all the other apps, and it used to be available in the text app prior to Froyo. It is also there if I use other text apps (Handcent, Go SMS), which means it is only the combo of the stock messaging app, and Froyo that creates the problem.
What gives? This is a major annoyance to me. I don't care for the other messaging apps, I don't care about stupid "smileys", and if I did, I could input them manually. What I DO care about is being able to skip a line, or drop down a line to start a new paragraph/thought, rather than being forced to run everything together. Whose brilliant idea was this?
