Return Key Trouble...!
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...!

Re: Return Key Trouble...!
i'm thinking that this is more like a bug that needs to be resolved.
The work around is to be careful when you're entering data, to only hit the return key when you need to... But it's easy to hit it accidently, if it's there for something else...
And for the return key to have such a drastic effect on an ongoing program that's running, That's something that needs to be fixed in the next version.
The green flag is there for a reason, it doesn't need a keyboard shortcut...!

It's alright, mis-posting can happen to even the best of us. 
Since you have already redirected the topic in another thread in the 'Troubleshooting' Section, I'll go ahead and have this one locked.
For those interested, here is TinyWanda's new thread on the topic:
