I seem to remember that action when working on a PDP11 using a VT100 terminal. It was as if the designers said, hey, you obviously want a CR in the middle of the line, so there you go.

And to Linux users, TSO READY mode must look really odd when they find they can move the cursor to a previous command and press Enter, but nothing happens until they overtype at least one byte. We must look like nut cases sometimes :)

One of its oddities was that if you typed a line and happened to have the 
cursor before end of the line the right portion of the line was lost.
