276697 - Pressing 'enter' caused bug to be submitted prematurely

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[Doug Hockin]

In the new version of bugzilla for Thunderbird, I hit an 'enter' and it
submitted the bug before I had finished entering all the fields.  This is a
really serious problem.

Problems should never be submitted until the "Commit" button is explicitly
pushed.

what browser were you using? this is a browser 'feature' for the most part.

This is a feature of your browser, and almost every browser does it.

Pressing enter while in a form field submits the form.  It's always been that
way, and there's no way to stop it without tons of hacky javascript.

I'm not sure I want it fixed, personally...  I actually make use of that to
avoid having to scroll around to find the submit button :)

Yeah, this is a feature, not a bug, although perhaps browsers should (or already
do) allow you to disable it, and Bugzilla might consider allowing you to clean
up more of the damage from premature submission than it currently does (i.e. by
letting you edit the bug description).

clearing target of DUPLICATE/WONTFIX/INVALID/WORKSFORME so they'll show up as
untriaged if they get reopened.
