>Minor one... When enter is pressed, the edit box enters the line, the cursor drops down a line in the edit box prior to moving out, and then moves out of the box as intended. Thus it is not necessarily obvious that it worked.

>Major one... Repeated characters i.e. Holding a key down causes repeated characters, as fast as you can type. I tried it with the word TEST. and I got TTEEEESSTTT as the entered value. And I was just typing normally...
