Thanks for reporting!

I can confirm that the cursor only moves down on enter if the commit text field isn't empty.

I couldn't reproduce the behaviour with Pos1 (as this key doesn't exist on my keyboard), nor could I reproduce it by moving the cursor to the beginning of the first line by pressing Ctrl + a - Enter would work as expected.

Maybe it can be considered a feature not to allow leading with a newline and to disallow moving the cursor down with Enter if the textbox is entirely empty. Probably this makes the described behaviour specific to Windows, so I at best partially reproduced it on MacOS.

Normal text editors move the letters following the cursor to the next line. Before, they move all subsequent lines down by one line. - GitButler just moves the cursor.
