Pressing the Enter/Return key in a dialog with a default button, and focus on another button activates the default button. This should activate the button with focus. From the Microsoft books online: "The design of Windows dialog boxes includes the concepts of the default button and the cancel button. The default button is activated when the Enter key is pressed and the control that currently has the focus is not itself a button. In other words, when a button has the focus, pressing the Enter key triggers that button. The cancel button is similar but simpler: when the Esc key is pressed, whatever button is marked as the cancel button is activated. Esc always affects the cancel button regardless of what control has the focus."

We also get this wrong on OS/2 apparently (see bug 70958)

updating to new owner. sorry for the spam.

OK. The attached patch changes Win and OS2 to be somewhat more similar to the MS spec.... All that happens is that Enter triggers the currently focused one of those buttons. This does not fix the general symptom of buttons not firing on enter when they are focused. It does not fix the general symptom of the "default" ring not following focus when buttons are focused. Also, I don't know what the behavior should be here on Mac and on Unix. mpt?

Hmmm. The old bug has a full spec, the new bug has a partial patch. Which to dup, which to dup? ... Well, I guess it's easier to copy over the URL for a patch than to copy over an entire spec ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 63728 ***
