SYMPTOMS
When you open a Contact to the Journal page, the focus is on the New Journal Entry button. If you press the ENTER key the focus changes to the Delete Journal Entry button and does not open a new Journal entry as expected.

There are three methods for working around this problem.

Method 1
After clicking the Journal tab of the Contact click the New Journal Entry button instead of pressing the ENTER key.

On entering the Journal tab of the Contact press the TAB key five times to change the focus to the New Journal Entry button. Now pressing ENTER works as expected.
