This not good! Hence, the all caps scream in the subject line.
Sigh. Why does every software release break little stuff you use all the time?

Subject: Re: [Avid-L2] v.6 - changes to 'enter' key, text handling
Another aggravating little change -- no 'undo' when typing in bin text
columns.
Particularly annoying when combined with the new numeric 'enter' key
behaviour.
Let's say you've entered a new clip name, now hit the numeric enter key,
thinking it will save and deselect the text, then hit L-key to play
forward. Result in v.6 is the next clip in the bin is now named 'l',
with no easy way to undo the un-intended change and get the original
clip name back.
Cheers,
