This annoyed me for a while too. I could never remember to hit Esc instead of Enter. But then I learned to love this feature. The shortcuts they have in to QUICKLY dump your brain in the inbox and process it are one of aspects that makes OF easier to stick with than other systems. Being able to keep entering as I think because hitting Enter gives me a new line is awesome.

I also noticed that if i'm dumping my brain in the inbox and go to far (hit enter and get new action I didn't want) then hitting backspace/delete removes that new line and all is well.

You can tab off the field without starting a new entry.

Alternatively, once the new blank entry is created you can quickly Cmd-K to Clean Up, which deletes all blank lines.
