No disagreement there. :)

Actually I kind of like this sorta bizarre behavior/appearance.
I didn't like the old edit dialog box because when you pressed enter
you would create a multi-line attribute. How common are multi-line
attributes? I would guess that they are not the norm. I would advocate
that if the user wants to edit multi-line attributes, they should use
the Edit/Text... dialog box.
Patrick, if it is easy to implement the "edit multi-line attributes"
in your new dialg box, then by all means, but if it is too much pain, then
it can wait till a future release.
The above statements are MHO, so I'm willing to be flexible on
all these issues.
