Description Troy Beecroft CLA 2006-02-08 19:27:29 EST
On the initial screen of the faceted project wizards, where users provide the Project Name and select a Target Runtime, Finish is the default button most of the time.  However, moving the tab focus onto either of the New... buttons associated with the Target Runtime or EAR Project Name fields causes that button to momentarily become the default button.

There's not much utility in making any button the default once it already has focus since there's already a means of keyboard activation at that point. A more reasonable beahvior generally would be to make the button the default when focus is on the associated field (and leave it that way as long as either the field or associated button has the focus).

However, for this specific case, it doesn't seem like these New... buttons will even be used frequently enough that they need to ever be set as the default.  The dialog behavior could be simplified with very little sacrifice in efficiency if Finish was always the default button.
