139599 - hitting Enter in a text field doesn't send the submit button if there is only one text field

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 147850

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Vaclav Dvorak]

On Mozzila 1.0RC1, if a form has only one text field, you can submit it by
pressing Enter in it (which I find correct), but then the submit button is not
sent in the URL. If there are multiple text fields, the form is also submitted
by hitting Enter, but the submit button is sent. Example:

<form action="" method=get>
<input type=text name=text1>
<input type=hidden name=hidden1 value=anything>
<input type=submit name=submit1 value=submit1>
</form>

Hitting Enter on text1 results in URL: "file.html?text1=something"

<form action="" method=get>
<input type=text name=text1>
<input type=text name=text2>
<input type=hidden name=hidden1 value=anything>
<input type=submit name=submit1 value=submit1>
</form>

Hitting Enter on either of text1 or text2 results in URL:
"file.html?text1=something&text2=something&submit1=submit1"

I have found multiple bugs on the behavious of Enter, but am still not sure
which is the intended one. Certainly, though, it seems wrong to have a different
behaviour based on the number of text fields.

Unfortunately, this behavior is as-designed, since this is what IE does and
sites break if it's done differently.
