Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click new event 2. Add a title 3. Type a couple words in the note field, type enter/return between them Actual Results: Newline is correctly added to the note, *but* the event dialog closed immediately when enter key is typed. Expected Results: Add a newline to the note *without* closing dialog so user can continue typing note.
This is not a bug. It's a feature. Am I wrong? (You can use tabulator in order to be able to go on typing.)
Sorry if it's not clear from the title and steps, the description should be In the New/Edit Event dialog, *in the 'Note' text area*, typing a newline area via the enter (return) key closes the dialog. I understand that when the focus is elswhere the enter key is bound to the 'ok' action, but while editing in a multi-line text area I expect the enter key to be bound to newline and not bound to the 'ok' button.
This seems to be some sort of regression...

This is a XUL bug. It also happens in the edit bookmarks dialog, and edit bookmarks folder dialog. The problem is with the new <dialog> tags that are now being used. They steal the focus for pressing enter, even when typing into a multiline textbox. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 113146 ***
