I find the behavior of the Return key to be confusing and I've tried the 2 settings in the preferences dialog and don't see a difference.

If I have an item selected, and I hit Return, it creates a new item. This is as I would expect and I like it.

If I am entering the text for an item and I hit return, I would expect the behavior to be that I save the item that I'm editing, exit edit mode and have that item selected. I would especially expect this behavior when I've selected "Save items and close Quick Entry" for the "When pressing Return" setting.

However, regardless of how I have have "WpR" set, pressing return when editing an item saves the item AND goes into Quick Entry mode for a new item. As a result, every time I enter a new item, I wind up with a blank item that I didn't intend and have to then select it and delete it. It's very annoying.

Is this the correct behavior for "save items and close QE"? If so, can there be another option that closes QE and doesn't reopen it? I don't see ANY difference in behavior when selecting different options for "When pressing Return".

Thanks!
