I use Firefox. Firefox has a spell checker. I use keyboard Menu key, select the underlined incorrect word, press Enter to fix the misspelled word... my comment is submitted.

So I am forced to use the mouse to fix the spelling issues. Sometimes I forget it, and comment incomplete phrases.

So, the bug is not about removing submit on Enter, but make difference between a context menu Enter and an usual Enter keypress.

  • @Martin Smith: and this is a BUG declaration, not a support request and in that thread there is not about the opening a (spelling) contextMenu, but about new lines.

  • Your "bug" is by design. The explanation is in the dupe, which in turn links to the original issue where the behaviour was changed.

  • Unless I'm confused about what you're doing, no repro in Chrome.

  • @rchern: 1) Do you use the keyboard rightclick on the misspelled word, select the correct one, and press keyboard Enter? 2) Use Firefox.

  • Ok this is really not reproductible in Google Chrome. This is a comment from Chrome.... OK, now I am back to Firefox, hovever.

Also confirmed in both Chrome (8.0.552.237, 9.0.597.84) and Safari (5.0.3) on a Mac.

Workaround for both: use Shift-Enter to make a choice.

(As an aside: both also catch Command-L while in the wmd editor. This normally would take me to the location bar but in the wmd editor invokes the "Insert link" option, for which I'd normally use Ctrl-L rather than Command-L as per the tooltip anyway. Not a problem, but it might help investigate.)

  • Excellent, this was driving me crazy. At least there's a work around, but I'll have to get used to it.

I can confirm this on Firefox 4.0b10.

A partial solution is to press the first letter of the desired correction; so press I for a correction of "information", for example. This will not work with the letters reserved for menu functions: U, P, A, S, and L.

Hope this helps!
