Pressing Enter or Return in a text field when there is a selection removes the selected part (provided there's no submit button in the form).

The issue isn't whether the form has a submit button. It's whether there's a form element at all. Here's the code from HTMLInputElement::defaultEventHandler:

        } else if (clickDefaultFormButton && form()) {
            form()->submitClick();
            evt->setDefaultHandled();
        }

instead, the code should say:

        } else if (clickDefaultFormButton) {
            if (form())
                form()->submitClick();
            evt->setDefaultHandled();
        }

Whether Enter is "eaten" by the input element should not depend on whether there's a form or not.
