Description Dale R. Worley 2013-12-02 00:40:30 UTC
Description of problem:

When the user is entering the "Summary" data field of the Enter Bug page, if the user types Return, the page is submitted.  This is highly unexpected (given the behavior of other web sites) and undesirable (since the user has probably not yet entered the Description of the bug).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)

It is the current version of this Bugzilla instance.  I do not know its version number because Bugzilla's pages do not provide the current version number.  (Should I file a bug report on that?)

How reproducible:

reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start to create a new bug report.
2. After selecting the product, select a Component.
3. Start to enter text in the Summary field.
4. Type Return.

Actual results:

The page is immediately submitted (most likely with the Description field unentered).

Expected results:

Either (1) nothing should happen, or (2) the cursor advances to another data entry field.

Additional info:

Bugzilla was being accessed with Firefox 25.0 (as provided by Fedora 19 as of 30-Nov-2013).

No, the version is provided on the top right of the homepage ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ )

The actual result is the expected result, and comes from upstream Bugzilla. This does some times result in incomplete bugs being filed. In these cases, a new comment and other changes can be made on the edit bug screen.
