Hello Robert,

Same here on 10.6.5.
This wasn't the case with 10.5.8 (just tried here to be sure).

The enter key (as opposed to the return key) doesn't seem to be affected, so you could tell your users to do an "option+enter".

Or you could choose another indicator key, such as "fn" or "tab".

Or you could allow for multiple selections (choose from list ... with multiple selections allowed ...) and compare theChoice to theColorList; users would then have to select the whole list in the dialog (easily done with "cmd"+"a") and just press enter as usual.

Or... well, I'm running out of ideas now.
Axel
