Ah.
OK, good. That would have shown up as a difference with the list comparison, of course, but Bernd is often simpler and better.
I think this stems from an old Apple UI guideline, where a default button was well defined, including how high it should be. In LC it detects pressing Return or enter without a control in hand and runs a “mouseUp” handler. Don’t know if HC did that.
