Alternate Input Method for Input Box on Password-Protected Write Files and all Open Office Input Boxes

When you open an Open Office password-protected file in Open Office
Writer 3.1.1, a password input box appears. After the password is typed
in, the newer forms of the program will only submit the password and
open the file when the pointer is placed on the “OK” button and the
mouse clicked.

In previous versions, the shortcut input of pressing the “Enter Key” was
allowed as a substitute for clicking the OK button. For us old time
users and all users with keyboards, keeping the old “press Enter Key” as
a default method for input or answering “OK.” Makes the program more
usable and user friendly.

I suggest that the “press Enter Key” be adopted as a standard alternate
input on all Open Office input boxes.

This is just a bug.

And it will be fixed in 3.2.

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
