I wish the default selection when "Enter" is pressed were reverted to what we had in Manager 7.8, i.e., "Save".

Alternatively, NO default selection would be OK.

Many, many times I have changed something, pressed "Enter" and later found the change had been DISCARDED because the default selection was changed somewhen after 7.8. Using 7.12 now, and it is a pain for me. NO default would alert me to the fact I had not committed it.

This has already been fixed in source code, via #2585. If you want it fixed immediately, use BOINC Manager 7.8.3 or before. You can mix old managers with new clients.
