Gabriel:

Is the WebAdmin integrated into Trac 0.11dev vastly different from the
0.3dev plugin available for Trac 0.10.4? My installation does not
exhibit this behavior, and contains no Cancel buttons on any of the
Admin pages exposed by other Trac plugins so I might duplicate the
effect. I agree this can be annoying, but it sounds unusual for Trac
or most Web sites.

Generally, cancel buttons (type="reset") on a Web form are not
activated with Enter in major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari) unless
the button has Tab focus. I wonder if the dialog you're seeing with
the Cancel button first is actually a JavaScript alert() box? The
rules change between Web forms and a desktop GUI; JavaScript dialogs
are governed by the latter.

I agree with your preference to place Save/Apply/OK before Cancel;
however, on Linux, UNIX and MacOS, this button order is naturally
reversed from Windows and similar GUIs. Trac, WebAdmin and the Web
browser have no control in this context unless the buttons are
strictly contained within a Web form.


Happy Holidays!
