BUG: Hitting return at the beginning of a list item is ignored

When I hit return at the beginning of a list item (i.e. with the cursor directly after the bullet point) the key is being ignored. I’d expect a new line (list item) to be created and the whole current item to move ‘down’ with the cursor. Only way to create an empty new list item in the middle of a list is to place the cursor at the end of the item above and hit return there. Not severe but an annoyance.
