When one thinks about it, there actually *is* a bug but it's *not* in  
the editfield but the IDE itself.

The problem is that many people are used to pressing either the  
Return key or the Enter Key on the Number keyypad when they see a  
Default "OK" button. If one presses the Enter key, the editor is  
closed. When one presses the Return key, it is added to the editfield  
as initial text as Joe explained.

Solution: Rb should make the OK button a regular button that has to  
be clicked on to dismiss the window.

I'm sure many others have fallen into this trap.

PS1. What do people with Laptops do as they usually don't have a  
number pad Enter key? :)

PS2. I haven't got my XP machine running but I am assuming that  
Windows does the same as Mac.
