BuildID:    2001062823

text typed in the three entry fields on this page is invisible (although it is
there -- I managed to log on). On builds 0.9.1 & 0.9 it was OK

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type in the URL
2. try to type in the entry fields. The top two are normal tex fields, the
bottom one is password style (i.e. you get "*" instead of what you typed)
3.

Actual Results:  the text typed in is invisible. It does not display although it
is "there"

Expected Results:  text should apear as typed in the top two fields. "*" should
apear in the bottom box

I have the same problem in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010704. I've seen that the text appears again if you pull a
window over the browser and then pull it away.

I found that the bug only show in <input type="text"/>, not in <textarea>.

The problem has to do with setting the focus from script:
document.logon.userid.focus();

The user id gets the focus but for some reason typing into it doesn't do 
anything. If I comment out the line above and then click in the field it works 
or if I click in a different field and then in that field it works.

->brade not sure if this is a focus issue or a text field issue. Any clue? The
caret moves appropriately so I'm guessing focus is working correctly for the
test case above?
