Internet Explorer 10 - 'Enter' key problem

**Rik** · 17 March 2013, 06:48 PM

Just installed Internet Explorer 10.
I am running Windows 7 32bit.

The 'Enter' key does not work, in the text area, when I reply to a post, or if I create a new post.
(Some people might call this the 'Return' key.)

When I press the Enter key to go to the next line. That doesn't work.
I've even tired the on-screen keyboard. That doesn't work either.

The Enter key works everywhere else.
I can use it to log in and do all the other things you would expect the Enter key to do.

If I use Firefox, that works OK.

Any ideas or has anyone else experienced this?

Enter

But I am using IE10 on a 64-bit Win8...Mike

[some might]

this done in IE10 on win7-32bit machine that I just happen to be on, and the
enter keys
both seem to work fine

are you using default settings ? - a long shot but the forum requires yahooapis for some things, so too high a scripting/security setting might upset it, but 'tis only a thought

I thought I would try 'Compatibility' mode and that seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for trying everyone.

Installed this yesterday on my win 7 64bit and it was as buggy as hell. I know that it is a preview release but it really is truly awful. Did not have the enter key problem but it was so slow compared to the IE8 I have and in comparison to google chrome it was twice as slow. Uninstalled it just 10 minutes later and reverted back to EI8.

no longer preview, it's now officially released, soon [if not already] to be in updates..

If that was a real deal and not a preview then it needs to stay on windows 8.

I am happy with it - no problems that I can see, but it's not my main browser....

not actually sure what you mean by 'If that was a real deal and not a preview then it needs to stay on windows 8'

Just that it was created for windows 8 and as an after thought they decided to bring it over to windows 7 a whole 7 months (or so) later. Many people have experienced bugs with it and it is very slow on win 7 pcs, just wondering how it compares on your computer with chrome or firefox.

Firefox is my main browser [the reason for that is it is in my blood - I have use it more or less since it was born and the way I have it set up, and the privacy and security features I use, I fully understand the workings of]

that said some sites I need to use IE for, because they don't play well with FFox as I have it set up

I don't claim to have compared the two - I am currently too busy with real life to do that for the sake of it, when I am not getting problems either way... just saying that
