I HATE that functionality! I want to click a button to submit the
form, if I press the enter key, I want it to do a carriage return or
nothing.

This sucks even more than the enter key.NOTHING worse then repeated
being told the form is not complete because it mistakenly tries to
submit it when I pressed the enter key.

YMMV
