RePost from Suggestions / GreenFlag Keyboard ShortCut...
Very Painful Bug ( ? ) in Scratch;
When you hit the Return Key it Interprets this as Hitting the Green Flag.
This may not have been a concern/problem prior to Version Four,
As The Return Key had no real functionality then,
But now; In version four, The Return Key is used to Enter Data.
As such; It should have Only That Function;
When mistakenly hitting the return key out of Sequence during a Data Collection Routine, It will Abort The Program and Start over...!
The Greenflag doesn't need a Keyboard Shortcut, esp. when accidentally hitting it can cause so much arm flapping and uncontrollable weeping.

No, ENTER key. It's sometimes named RETURN because on very old computers it was named like that.
As for the glitch: I never encountered it before?

Yeah, there should be a different button for the green flag if enter is going to be used for confirming an answer. Maybe alt/option?
I've never accidentally reset by pressing enter too many times but it could easily happen.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Never encountered the issue before, but accidentally pressing ENTER/RETURN key could be a bit of an issue.
Perhaps not ALT, as ALT is sometimes used for keyboard commands. Maybe redirecting it to SHIFT key (that's for Windows, I have no idea if Macs have an equivalent under a different name) or BACKSPACE might be a good option.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
