Default Carriage return after symbol insert
When inserting a text symbol using the symbol page (hold the # key on keypad or Fn + Sym keys on keyboard), the symbol gets inserted followed by a carriage return (enter). This is extremely annoying and severely limits my SSH / command line usage (can't insert a symbol without an enter).

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a WM6 problem or is it just my S710? Is there a fix or is it embedded in the ROM?

Yeah, I am also suffering from that in some apps. Don't know if there is a fix.

There is no problem, but it irritates. You must select the symbol by space button: "_/#" on main keyboard or "Space" on QWERTY-keyboard

Experienced this with my Dash before, must be a software conflict, after uninstalling some apps, it worked fine since then...

So you use space/# on keypad or space on keyboard to select the symbol instead of enter. Just tried it and it works. Thanks for the tip! I wonder why this behavior was changed from WM5 to WM6? Oh well, at least there's a workaround.
