Details

If one accidentally hits enter when typing a bug summary, enter_bug.cgi submits
the bug.  Since people are likely to be filling in data in page order, this will
result in partial bug reports and/or duplicates (if they hit escape when they
see it trying to submit and then keep on filling in data).
this has bitten me recently, i know it's a mozilla "feature" but i'd appreciate
it if there was some easy way to workaround it.
It can be done, but it's a pain in the butt.  You have to do an onkeydown event handler on every text field and trap the enter key.  I've seen it done before (usually for exactly this reason).

Unfortunately, for every person who is happy it stops, there'll be someone who'll complain when it goes away...

I agree. And nobody besides tor and timeless complained in the last 10 years, based on the number of votes and CC'ed users.
