From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011206 BuildID: 2001120608 ENTER key inserts a left arrow, perhaps symbolizing a carriage return, when it should funtion like the RETURN key. This happens on all pages where keystrokes are entered and there is a GO, OK, ACCEPT, or similar button. For example, the URL entry line at the top of the window, the ID and password entry fields of logon pages, data entry pages of any type. The key ENTER should be mapped to the same function as the RETURN key on these pages. It is in fact the more appropriate key to replace the Enter button click than the RETURN key. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use any data entry field. The URL entry field at the top of the window works fine. 2.Enter some text. 3.Press the ENTER key (not the RETURN key) Actual Results: You get http://www.mozilla for example, with a left arrow at the end. Expected Results: There would be no arrow and the browser would respond as if I had clicked on the GO, OK, SEARCH, or ENTER button, as it does when I press the RETURN key. I'm using a Powerbook G4 with OS 10.1 and Mozilla 0.9.6. I believe this problem has been around in all previous builds.
