I agree having to press enter twice is somewhat frustrating but I have no objections to the feature in general - I find it helpful and time-saving.

I'd rather see a patch that fixes the submit issue instead of one that removes the feature :) Perhaps we can take this bug upstream? https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 8:38 AM, Callan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Before I start off on my rant I just want to say I am not trying to attack > whoever committed this feature originally.
