PAGES Shift+Return Keystroke for soft return no longer working

With the newest update to Pages, the Shift+Return shortcut to inserting a soft return is no longer working. I've used PAGES since the beginning, it appears to be a software bug. Any help???

It seems Control+Return is now being used by Pages as the new key combination for Insert Line Break / Soft Return. What we want is for it to move back to Shift+Return. And sadly the Keyboard Shortcuts settings will not accept Shift+Return for Insert Line Break.
