Why? Does this solve a perceived usability issue? It's just going to confuse its users.

When in a multiline text field, pressing Enter should add a new line. (If comment fields where single-line text fields, however, I'd understand the change.)

Editing, yes. When I leave a comment and see that I made a typo, I have to delete it and repost it, by which time someone has often already replied.
