21963 - [PP]Linux: mail/news dialogs do not close upon Enter

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[fenella]

This bug is used to track that Unix dialogs should be closed upon pressing the
Enter key:
These dialogs are:
Subscribe
Rename folder
Account Setup
Preferences
New Card
Actual result: In each of these dialogs, when I press Enter, no response. I have
to click on the OK button in order for it to close.
Expected result: Dialogs should be closed when I press the Enter key.

This problem does not occur on Mac and Win_nt

Note: the only time when the enter key should not close a dialog is when the
focus is in a multi-line edit field, I believe. In that case, enter should start
a new line.

cc: akkana since she expressed interest in this.

I think this should be an overall problem, not specific to mail/news.

Correct, enter should activate the default button (normally "OK") unless it is in
a multiline edit field.  It is also true that this is a global problem.  Changing
to "Frond End"

Re Lisa's comment 12/16:  In the New Card dialog, under the Other tab, <Enter>
closes the dialog when you use it in the multi-line edit field for Notes on all
platforms.  I'll log a separate bug.
