Description

Summary

Repro:

  1. Edit the title of the last row in a table view
  2. Press Enter
  3. A new row is added
  4. But there is no way to easily undo / delete it if it was unintended

Propose: Pressing Escape or Enter on an auto-added card with an empty title should remove the row.

How important this is to me and why

Importance: Medium

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the table view component and the auto add row logic. Focus on how keyboard events (Enter, Escape) are handled for the last row's title input. Propose adding a check to remove the row if the title is empty on Enter or Escape.
