Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2009-06-05 17:34:54 UTC
This should be fixed in the next major release of RHEL.  I don't see this as really critical enough to fix in an update release of RHEL5.  It can easily be documented with a release note if needed, and the workaround is just a matter of knowing to hit "enter" for OK or "tab-enter" for Cancel.
