Description Oliver Drotbohm

Build Identifier: 

When editing a task and tabbing into a field that pops down a selection list (e.g. Fix version) you can use arrow keys and space to select the entries you'd like to have activated. I'd expect 'enter' to accept the selection but that just behaves like a hit on space. So there's currently no way to navigate out of this field accepting the current selection via keyboard

Reproducible: Always

I was able to reproduce this. Agreed that there should be an affordance to confirm the selection through the keyboard, e.g. by pressing Enter.
