I think this behaviour is by design. For considers last activated buttont
as default form button. According to "TextBox.AcceptsReturn Property" help
topic you must set this property to "true", to ensure RETURN key is always
handled by the textbox control.

> There seems to be a bug where if you're in a textbox, a button can still
have focus and prevent you from using the "enter" key in the multi-line
textbox. This happens when you have a button and a textbox in a child form,
go to another child and return back to the initial child. Here's how to
re-create the problem:

in the OnLoad event)

that's on top "child 1" and the other "child 2"

on "child 1".
> 5. Click on the textbox on "child 1" and hit return ("ENTER"). You will
NOT be able to go down to the next line.
> It seems that upon re-activating "child 1", the form gives the button the
focus again, but does not "release" the focus even when you put the cursor
in the textbox.
> So, even though you click on the text box & put the cursor there, hitting
ENTER still makes the form fire the Click event on the button.

or know the solution please let us know.
