Hi,

I use the "Run Parameters" dialog a lot. I change the "Command Line Parameters" value frequently, and when I hit ENTER I expect the dialog to close, but it doesn't.

I looked at the code (runparamsopts.pas) and it uses a ButtonPanel and the DefaultButton = pkOK, so why doesn't hitting ENTER do the same as when I click the OK button?

I'm using Lazarus 1.5 r48959 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-linux-gtk 2

The Run Parameters dialog is not the only place in the IDE where this happens.

The OK button is not necessarily activated by default. You need to activate that behaviour: it should be set as 'Default'.

The buttons are not individual buttons it is the TButtonPanel component. That component doesn't have a Default property and you can select the individual buttons (in the form designer). I thought the TButtonPanel.DefaultButton = pbOK does the same as TButton.Default, or am I understanding that wrong.

Ha, I just thought of something. The Run Parameters dialog has TEdit and TComboBox (the edit kind) components. The value I'm editing is in the edit combobox, and that seems to prevent the "default button" behaviour from working.

If I place the edit cursor inside a TEdit and hit ENTER, then the dialog closes as expected.

Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around? This issue is driving me crazy.
