Overview: In the Address Book try to create a list. After entering the 1st entry
press the Enter key to advance to the next line, instead it closes the dialog
making it difficult to create lists.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select New List button
2. Type the name of the list
3. Tab to the first field to enter an email address. Enter an email address
4. Press the Enter key

Actual Results: The Mail List dialog closes
Expected Results: A second line should appear with a blinking cursor at the
beginning of the line.

Marking nsbeta1 because this makes creating lists very difficult.

Another problem: we require a list name, yet focus is on list of email addresses
first. We have to click in the list name first.

*cough* bug 109407 *cough*

The problem is that the onkeypress event listener for the tree textboxes is
being fired _after_ the ondialogaccept listener for the dialog itself. It needs
to be the other way around, and I'm not sure that's possible.

Might have to do a workaround here.

Marking Worksforme since the Enter key no longer closes the list dialog.

There is a problem with the cursor not appearing when the 2nd address input
field appears (bug# 115884).
