From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010523 BuildID: 2001052304 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Composer 2. Type something 3. Close composer 4. When prompted for saving the file, press tab key to switch focus to "Don't Save" and press Enter. Actual Results: "Save" option is interpreted instead of "Don't Save" upon hitting Enter. Expected Results: Pressing Enter key on "Don't Save" button should be equivalent to pressing Space Bar key on that button. BTW, what's the difference between the thick black border around the "Save" button and the thick grey border around the "Don't Save" button? Any meaning? Or it's just another minor UI correctness problem?
So viewing a PNG triggers Quicktime plugin on 6.01, which doesn't display it correctly! Could use GIFs, please? But the differences you describe are important: the Enter key always triggers the "Default" button, the one with the thick border. When you tab from button to button, the thin border tells you what button is focused, and that is what should be triggered with the Space bar. I.e., they are *not* the same. That is proper Windows behavior.

Thanks Charles! Wow! I learn a new thing on Moz keyboard nav... But one more whining: It's not obvious enough... on my eyes at least... ;)

True, trying to come up with visual representations for "Default" vs. "focused" is always a challenge in any OS. And customizing that in "themes" makes it even harder for users to learn it!
