Oddity in attempting to delete line breaks in text
Using MuseScore 3.2.0.7410.
I just added a couple of line returns/breaks at the end of some staff text. I did that to create more space between staffs. I discovered, when I went to delete them again, that you can't delete line returns; you have to back space over them to get rid of them. I then tried it out on some other types of text and it appears to be consistent.
This isn't a big deal, but I did have to take a couple of moments to experiment to figure out how to do it, and it is different from how word processing software usually works. Not sure it qualifies as a "bug", and probably not describable as a "feature". It is just an "oddity". :)

This has bothered me as well, but never gotten around to enter it as a bug: see #291402: Text edit mode: newline character can't be removed by Delete
This used to work correctly in 2.x

I had typed it up as a bug, but then decided that, as a new user, I really should just post it here and let someone with more experience decide what to do with it. Thank you for turning in the bug report for me. :)

No worries..
When in doubt, posting here is indeed the preferred way forward.
When you do encounter a definite bug, entering it directly into the tracker is just fine!
And welcome :)
At the end of each line there is little "return" icon (a 90 degree arrow pointing downward and left). Click on that return icon to highlight it, then hit the delete button on your keyboard. This will delete that return.

What you wrote is correct, but it seems like there may be some misunderstanding.

So, for the sake of clarity...
In this image:
The "little 'return' icon (a 90 degree arrow pointing downward and left)" is not a break in text. It is what was formerly called a 'line break', now called a 'system break' (i.e., a break in the music notation itself).
The OP was referring to the "oddity in attempting to delete line breaks in text".
Notice the text in the image. That's what the OP was referencing.
