Clicking enter multiple times creates a new block

[paaljoachim]

I am testing: https://testgutenberg.wpkonsulterna.se/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gutenberg

The issue:
A text block.
Another block below it.
A user wants more space below the block. He/she might go into and click multiple times just below the text to create some space to the next block.
Suddenly a new block is created. It feels kinda strange that clicking multiple times inside a text block automatically creates a new block. It is better to keep it clean. To add a block one clicks the +Insert button.

The question is then how can we easily add more space between the blocks in the layout?
Should there be a spacer block to where the user can define or drag the top and bottom edges to make more or less space?

The current behavior in master is currently that single enter is a paragraph linebreak, double enter creates a new text block. Though per recent discussions, including some in #898, this behavior is possibly going to be adjusted in the near future.

Regardless of how enter works in the Text/Paragraph block, the Freeform block is likely the block you want to use if you want multiple linebreaks like this.

The freeform block looks identical to the text block. I see not clear difference between them.

The freeform block is still in a state of flux with many features being added to it. See also #1037 and #1038. But they are subtly different, both visually and mechanically.

Mechanically they are also different in that the freeform block accepts multiple linebreaks. In fact right now there's now way to break out of the block, without tabbing and creating a new block below it. This is intended, insofar as the freeform block is to play the role of the "old editor" in block form.

Creating a new block when pressing multiple enters is the designed behaviour.
