Return key passed through to crop tool from dialogs

[ExUSA]

When the crop tool is inactive, pressing Return in a dialog passes the keypress through to the tool. I believe this is a bug. Not tested on Windows. Not document-specific.

1. Open a document

2. Press C to switch to the Crop tool

3. Press Esc to deactivate the crop rectangle

4. Press Cmd-Opt-I to open the Image Size dialog (as an example)

5. Change the Image Size and press Return to accept

Result: The crop rectangle is now activated.

Expected: Keypress is not passed through from the dialog and crop rectangle remains inactive

This can also be seen with Save As, pressing Return to accept the dialog passes the keypress through

Hi @ExUSA! 👋 Thanks for sharing the instructions.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my end, maybe because I'm on Windows. I'll ask my Mac colleagues to test it out. Could you let me know what version of Photoshop and macOS you're using? It would be super helpful as well if you could share a screen recording showcasing the issue.

Thanks a lot for your patience! 😊

Yes Photoshop 26.4.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.3.2. This is not a serious issue, just seemed odd that a dialog keypress would bubble through to the selected tool.

Ok thank you! Just wasn't sure, a couple of times I accidentally cropped a picture and couldn't figure out why. Not a big issue.
