Build 2000011212M13: Linux 6.0
Build 2000011813M13: Mac 8.5.1

I wasn't able to find this reported. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Overview: When the Mail login dialog appears a cursor is displayed. Try typing
your Mail Password and it doesn't appear to accept the information, the
asterisks don't appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Mail and notice that a cursor appears in the Mail login dialog.
2. Enter your Mail Password and press OK (or Enter)

Actual Results: It reports an error "login incorrect". If I click into the Mail
Login dialog first, then start typing, then asterisks appear and the password is
accepted.
Expected Results: When the Mail Login dialog appears a cursor should be
displayed. The user should be able to start typing and press OK or Enter for the
password to be accepted. It should not require an extra click at the beginning
of this process.

Additional Information:
- NT4 build 2000011416M13: The cursor displays in the Mail login dialog and
typing immediately shows asterisks. No need for an extra click.

Correction: It doesn't say "login incorrect" and just displays the same dialog
to enter your password.

Actually, doesn't it fallback to some other authentication method, using a
similar dialog?  In any case, this sounds like a focus issue, possibly a dup.

This is still a Mac and Linux problem only. Updating the Status Whiteboard to 
reflect this.

On Mac today, I don't even see a caret... which was different than my build from 
yesterday with my changes, so I suspect that something changed under me yet 
again.

Guessing, and this is only a guess, that this will be fixed when we land the 
focus memory changes.

In anycase, it is pointless to look at this until then.

Now is linux only... grr, should have been fixed. Linux is slightly different
with this dialog and I don't know why. It caused other problems earlier. Other
dialogs seem to be fine.

Believe it or not, this is a dup of 27785
