Unable to create Bullet List in Microsoft Teams chat ?

-

Office365 user running on Windows 10 are reporting that they can not create anymore bullet list in the Teams. The issue started recently that teams user cannot add a bullet list in the teams chat anymore. You will be able to add bullet but once you post it , it is posted as a simple text, no bullets are shown. 

When you enter a bullet using shift+enter in Teams, it will go to the next line but then no bullet is being shown in the message. The feature was working in past but bullet stopped working recently in teams.

Unable to create Bullet List in Microsoft Teams chat ?

 Earlier the Teams used to let you add items to list with Enter and you could submit the message by hitting Enter twice on the last list item. Now it submits after the first list item which is frustrating. The new workflow seems to be create the list in single lines and then go back and format it as a bulleted list.

It seems that MicroSoft Teams hasn’t tested properly before throwing out a release but should look into it immediately.
