Pressing Enter fast after pasting URL while creating a post publishes the post

This has happened to me several times: While typing out a post including an OP, pasting a video link and then rapidly pressing enter after pasting it, the OP immediately publishes, rather than creating an indent.

 

When this has happened I wasn't close to being done typing out the post, so it's inconvenient and disruptive.

 

Testing it right now, it seems that for a half-second after pasting a YouTube link (or maybe any link?), the post / edit button is somehow selected, and so pressing enter causes the in-progress post to publish.

 

So, ctrl+v pasting this following URL and then rapidly hitting enter quickly afterwards causes the post to publish:

I didn't know that. That's what's happening, then.
