#6693: update trac : return should submit; preview should warn explicitly

 Ubuntu, Firefox 2.0.0.8

 When entering a trac ticket or comment, tabbing through the interface at
 the end of the submission and hitting "enter" leads to a preview rather
 than a submission.  If you look closely, you can see the "D R A F T"
 background on the resulting page to indicate that the submission hasn't
 gone through, but this is not obvious (especially on a laptop screen).

 There is no explicit warning that you are viewing a preview.
 I have lost a number of comments that I thought I made thanks to this.

 Bug : preview isn't clear; looks like a successful submission.   Please
 add a small red-lettered warning that notes that one is only seeing a
 preview.

 Feature request : Please change the default behavior on this trac instance
 so that "enter" while focus is on one of the fields of the table submits
 one's material.  It's always possible to update or add clarity later; but
 unwittingly lost comments may simply be lost.
