Misleading behavior - preview Ticket change — at Version 2

Description (last modified by Matthew Good)

When one edits a ticket and hits the enter key, the behavior is to preview the ticket. The preview condition is not obvious. Unless the description is changed the only indication is the "#preview" on the end of the URL…

I propose that the preview button be shifted to reside next to the Description edit box and that the default action for the page (on hitting enter) is to submit changes.

I've entered this as a defect as I consider it a design defect. An alternative view is that it is an enhancement.

Reading a bit more about this issue it becomes apparent that it is to deal with browser s treating enter in different ways. I different proposal to that stated above is to put a Draft background behind the ticket when preview is hit.

I agree that the preview background is better than changing the "Enter" behavior.
