Daniel, is it true that the problem exists in both GUI and text-mode

Yes, that is true.
Also, it is noticeable that a line is indented after I press return
and then the point is aligned with the first character in the line above it
(rather than just moving down).
And I think we know that pressing enter usually causes a chain of events. Help tells me:
RET (translated from <return>) runs the command newline, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
It is bound to RET.
(newline &optional ARG INTERACTIVE)
Insert a newline, and move to left margin of the new line if it's blank. If option `use-hard-newlines' is non-nil, the newline is marked with the text-property `hard'. With ARG, insert that many newlines.
If `electric-indent-mode' is enabled, this indents the final new line that it adds, and reindents the preceding line. To just insert a newline, use M-x electric-indent-just-newline.
Calls `auto-fill-function' if the current column number is greater than the value of `fill-column' and ARG is nil. A non-nil INTERACTIVE argument means to run the `post-self-insert-hook'.
I didn't mention it before, but there are modes that superficially seem to work OK, like for example c-mode and lisp-interaction-mode.
