Inconsistent "return key/tab" behavior
When entering publication and author information, contextual suggestions based on previous entries will pop up that the user can then select. One of two things then happens:
1) Hitting "return" selects the contextual suggestion while leaving the text-box open, so that the user can modify the text or tab to the next input box.
2) Hitting "return" closes the editing operation and shifts focus away somewhere else. The user then has to go to the mouse and select the following text box.
I believe option 1 is the preferred behavior. This bug occurs most frequently when editing/inputting to "author" and "editor" fields, and less frequently when editing "place" and "publisher."
I'm running OS X 10.5, Firefox 3.03, Zotero 1.07.

I start entering something into any field in the right pane and, if it it matches a previous entry, Zotero then offers suggestions. I now use the arrow keys to choose the appropriate suggestion and then would use the tab-key to get to the next field, expecting that Zotero enters the completed string that I had chosen with the arrow keys. However, this is not what happens.
Example: If I, for example, enter "E" in the language field, Zotero suggests "English". Hitting the down-arrow to choose "English" and then tabbing to the next field, produces not "English" but "E" in the field.
I consider this to be a bug and hope it can be fixed.
