Using Tor for Linux, when I open the browser end press “Enter” on the “Connect” button, a connection progress bar apears and the “Connect” button changes to “Cancel”. But a moment later the connection progress bar disapears, and the “Cancel” button changes back to “Connect”. Only when I press “Enter” a second time does connection work.
I don’t see this behavior every time. Sometimes it connects on first try. But it happens very often that I must press Connect twice.
Other times the connection progress will hang until I press “Cancel” and press “Connect” again (then it connects immediately).

Looks like it affects multiple platforms then (Windows and Linux)
