The return key doesn't work with the "Add Reviewer" button in Gerrit, as far as I can tell. I find this behavior slightly infuriating.

https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1784 seems to be about a different issue.

Steps to add reviewer with enter key
- Type in a partial name of a reviewer to add

Steps that should add reviewer but do not work as expected.
- Type in a partial name of a reviewer to add
- Use mouse to select desired email
- Press 'enter' key
-> Does not add reviewer
Can you add a reviewer using the first set of steps?

I could not add a reviewer using the second set of steps.
The real root of the problem is in gwt. The gwt upstream fix is at
https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/#/c/2100/
. The bug there is at
https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8051
.
But as that fix needs time (and probably a push to the old svn
repository there) to get accepted and to flow down to us through
gerrit upstream, I pushed a fix to gerrit as well. Gerrit upstream
is fixed by commit 882d3bc2cca0b1ebeca65276d163e14b2a32f39e at
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/c/42891/
This commit fixes the problem also when trying to add a member to
group.

I believe this is fixed now (via the gerrit fix, not gwt).
Not working for me at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/12345.
To re-iterate, the bug here is that when the focus is on the "Add Reviewer" button, the return key on my keyboard cannot be used to "click" (or "submit") the button. I'll upload a screenshot as well.

Wikimedia Gerrit interface with the "Add Reviewer" button focused
From this point in my workflow (with a valid reviewer in the text input field and the "Add Reviewer" button focused in my Web browser) I should be able to hit the return key on my keyboard to add the reviewer to the changeset. However, the hitting the return key has no effect at all. :-(

We fixed adding reviewers according to the second set of steps in
comment #6.
It seems your problem is different after all, and your problem is with
the first set of steps in comment #6. For at least Valerie and me,
this first set of steps works as well.
What OS, and browser are you using? Do you use any User-Javascript on
the page?
When the “Add Reviewer” is focused (on change 58060 -- test commit on
a test repository), and I hit enter, a POST to
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/changes/58060/reviewers
occurs with content
{"reviewer":"QChris <christian@quelltextlich.at>"}Does your browser also attempt such a POST? If so, what is gerrit's
response?

Google Chrome, OS X 10.8.3, no user JavaScript.

I don't believe the browser does anything when I hit the return key currently. Every standard HTML input form on the Internet works. Something about Gerrit's architecture causes Gerrit to not act like every other HTML input form (where tabbing to a submit button and hitting the return key works).

By the way, the "Publish Comments" button works just fine on Gerrit using the return key.
It's something to do with the "Add Reviewer" button specifically it seems. I was starting to suspect that perhaps this particular button has been intentionally disabled, but I have no real basis for this claim (other than the fact that the return key seemingly can't be used to submit the input/press the button).
