test case demonstrating bug

Regression since filing of bug 14382.

Regression: Non-default buttons can be activated with Return/Enter keys on Mac; this behavior should be limited to Windows. At some point, the Windows bug 14382 was fixed, which regressed Mac behavior. It's expected that non-default buttons on Mac OS X are activated by pressing spacebar, not Return (or Enter). Windows defaults to using Enter for everything and, AFAICT, there is no way to activate a default button on Windows unless it's explicitly focused first.

Load attached test case. 

Mac: Only spacebar should activate the button, not Return or Enter (fn+Return). 

Win: Enter key should activate the button on Windows. I'm not sure if it's a problem for spacebar o activate it too, so I'd suggest leaving that behavior unless we hear otherwise.
