292394 - Enter key in bookmark property dialog does not work

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Blixman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When managing bookmarks and choosing command-i (properties) on a bookmark, the
behaviour of the enter/return key is not intuitive. Generally, the enter key
(i.e. not the return key) should be linked to the default button. In the
bookmark property dialog, the enter key works like the return key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get properties of a bookmark
2. Hit enter key to OK changes while the cursor is in the description field

Actual Results:  
nothing

(a line break is inserted)

Expected Results:  
same as clicking on the defaulted button

Hitting return and enter is fine in the single line fields (name, location,
keyword). It is in the multiline description field that the return key should be
linked to a line break (new line) and the enter key to the default button. As a
side note, why allow line breaks in the description field if the bookmark
manager cannot display more than one line of text properly?

Suggestion: treat enter and return key the same, but change behaviour in
description to that of the other fields.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
