automatic addition of the \r character when copy a newline character (\n)

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently experiencing a peculiar issue with Burp Suite that I would like to address. When I copy a newline character (\n) and then paste it into a text field, Burp Suite automatically appends a carriage return (\r) character, resulting in \r\n (CRLF) being inserted. This behavior is causing unexpected formatting and issues with my requests. I have reviewed the configuration settings in Burp Suite but haven't been able to find an option that directly controls this behavior. Is there a specific configuration setting or a workaround to prevent this automatic addition of the \r character when pasting a newline character? Any guidance or assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Sincerely

Hi We normalize line endings to "\r\n" in Burp. If you're using HTTP/1 and the Repeater tool, you can disable this normalization by going to either "Settings > Repeater > Message modification" or the "Repeater" menu bar item and deselecting "Normalize HTTP/1 line endings".
