properties panel: ENTER key automatically opens color picker

Description

Using the ENTER-key to commit a line width change in the properties editor subsequently (and automatically) opens the line color picker dialog.

This is very convenient if one wants to change line width and linecolor simultaneously, but at very rare cases this could also be disturbing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open root schematic: properties_panel_ENTER.jpg.zip
  2. open (display) properties panel
  3. select the graphical lines or wire-segments or bus-segments
  4. the properties-panel shows the parameters for this selected line / wire / bus (see picture 1)
  5. find the "line width"-row --> contains currently "0 in" (see picture 2)
  6. LMB-click into this field, change value to "0.04" (see picture 3)
  7. hit ENTER to commit the change
  8. observe: changed value is transferred to canvas --> good
  9. but automatically the color-picker is opened --> a little bit disturbing (see picture 4)
