OK, this happens only on Gnome Wayland, on Gnome Xorg it works fine.

I think Wayland has some problem with forward key event.

I’ll check what I can do to solve the problem for Wayland.

I introduced, committing multi-line strings line by line with forwarding a key event for the new lines in between here:

https://github.com/mike-fabian/ibus-typing-booster/commit/35a22dab25be8cb9d09d048ca111f661d6b73909

As I describe in the commit message, this was a workaround for the GMail editor in Firefox and for Thunderbird.

One can disable that feature by checking the option

☑️ Avoid using the forward_key_event() function

But that has other disadvantages, so I do not recommend checking that option until absolutely necessary.

I just checked that the bug in the GMail editor in Firefox still exists (I did not yet check Thunderbird).

This makes multi line shortcuts mostly work on Wayland, except in the GMail editor when using firefox, for that case the workaround to commit each line separately and forward a return key event in between is unfortunately still necessary. If you want that working as well I recommend to use Gnome on Xorg.
