17529 - Return key in Open Web Location Dialog not treated as OK button

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Dan M]

This is fallout from bug 15856. That one described an identical symptom, though once the
first underlying cause was fixed (see that bug) another one cropped up to take its place.
I wanted the checkin comments addressing each underlying problem to reference different
bugs; thus the new one.

This is a difficult bug to describe. On the Mac, the "return" key dismisses the dialog, but
doesn't start the expected page load. Windows and Linux work as expected. The problem is
the failure of Windows and Linux to treat the Return key as the Enter key is treated; as if
the default button had been pressed. And then event handling gets all weird between the
text widget and the document, and it hurts.

It turns out this one can actually be fixed in JavaScript and XUL.

Adding verifyme keyword.

In Linux build 2000021715 the enter key does nothing after entering a URL in the
"Open Web Location" dialog.  The user must use the mouse and click "Open".

Pressing return dismisses the dialog and creates new window (if option selected) and begins to load the new page. All features work as expected. Tested on Mozilla Mac M14 (2000022108) Mac OS 9.
