Additional comments
Maybe there is a good reason for this however I am failing to see one. Out of habit it is very easy for a user to hit enter after adding data to a field. Do this after composing an article and your article will be lost. Just seems like bad UI/UX?
I realise disabling the keypress is a non runner. Hitting enter defaulting to cancelling the document seems questionable thou.

Strangely the issue appears to be related to the 'user' field (Publishing tab), specifically the following hidden button which is rendered from an override in the Isis template..
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
You will find the issue is also present when creating a new category which also includes this field. I can create a PR removing the 'cancel' text which does resolve the issue however this points to the correct solution been elsewhere. Anyone more familiar with the Isis template I suspect would have a better solution?) If not I will go ahead and create the PR.

Good find. Let's start by creating the pr. It usually helps to reveal any
other issues.

Maybe on a non web based form but on a web based form you would have to disable the keypress in a field for that to happen
