Fabrice,

We understand your concern about usability, but the editable tree view is really meant for rapid input, and being able to start a new line by pressing Enter is an important feature there. Note that you can press Escape to cancel  the new line if you are done and do not need the last line.
The idea is that you can do:  Ctrl-N for new line, input fields (switching with Tab key), Enter for new line, input fields, Enter, input fields, Enter, then Escape because you are done, so you cancel the last line.

So the question here is more: should we use an editable tree for phone calls?
We think yes, because there will be cases where end-users want to be able to input many lines in a row. 
Although if you don't want this feature, you can just disable it by editing the view and removing the "editable" attribute on the list view.

But maybe this is not the default case so we could also turn it off by
default and add a button on the search view to make it editable when
need. This is something that was done in the list of Product Backlogs of
the Scrum module.

If you think this is a good idea, please reopen the bug as a wishlist,
perhaps with an updated description too.

I hope you understand this point of view...

Title:
  in inbound phone list, press enter should only save, not create a new
  line

Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  on functional training vm.

  In Inbound Phone Call list :

  0. When no phone call has been created, action in the area where the
  phone list is afterwards does nothing. You have to create a new phone
  call with ctrl-n. That's fine.

  1. Create a new phone call and fill in the informations.

  2. Press enter : the phone call is saved. That's fine. And a new line
  with a new phone call appears, with focus on it (but unsaved).

  This new line is confusing to the user, and should not appear. We
  should have only :

  2. Press enter : the phone call is saved.

  3. To create a new phone call, use ctrl-n or create method.
