That's normal. It's so you can enter multi-line expressions, define whole
functions, etc. right in the inspector. It's a feature, not a bug :)

Back in the day of IBM 3270 mainframe terminals, this is how keyboards worked:
the enter key next to the letters was just a "new line" or "next field" key,
and the enter key on the numeric keypad was the "enter" or "execute" key. Ah,
those were the days...
