Pressing 'Enter' executes Cancel button instead of Submit

<form class="stdform stdform2" name="projectForm" ng-submit="saveProject(project, projectForm)"
      novalidate="novalidate">
    <p>
        <div class="par control-group" ng-class="{'has-error': projectForm.projectName.$invalid && (projectForm.projectName.$dirty || submitted)}">
        <label class="control-label" for="projectname">Name</label>

        <div class="controls">
        <span class="field">
            <input id="projectname" type="text" ng-model="project.name" name="projectName" class="form-control"
                   required/>
            <label ng-show="projectForm.projectName.$error.required && (projectForm.projectName.$dirty || submitted)"
                   class="error" for="projectname">Please type project name</label>
        </span>
        </div>
    </div>
    </p>
    <p>
        <label>Description</label>
        <span class="field">
            <textarea ng-model="project.description" name="projectDescription"
                      style="resize: vertical; height: 110px;" class="form-control input-default"></textarea>
        </span>
    </p>

    <p class="stdformbutton">
        <button class="btn btn-default" ui-sref="app.project.list">Cancel</button>
        <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">{{saveMessage}}</button>
    </p>
</form>

Why after pressing the 'Enter' key on keyboard am I redirected to app.project.list instead of having the saveProject(project, projectForm) function executed?

The default type for buttons is submit. You have to explicitly unset it to "button" to avoid the submit action:

<p class="stdformbutton">
    <button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ui-sref="app.project.list">Cancel</button>
    <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">{{saveMessage}}</button>
</p>

You can also set the type="reset" if you want it to clear out the input values.
