*** Original post on bio 377 at 2010-03-11 22:03:00 UTC *** Show a warning when typing in a password field and caps lock is enabled. This can't be done properly using Javascript and key events only, since the caps lock key is not reported separately. Checking for "uppercase-letter while shift key is not pressed" isn't working properly either since it requires pressing another key and it would be nice to warn before that even happens.

*** Original post on bio 377 at 2010-08-23 11:53:40 UTC *** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259059 This is a bug on the Mozilla Bugtracker, sitting there for years already, with a half-finished patch as it seems. Maybe it could serve as basis for an own patch here (or our fix could go there and finally solve this issue).

*** Original post on bio 377 at 2010-08-31 13:16:59 UTC *** Could be possible to do this without a native component, using js-ctypes instead. Here are a few pointers: user32.dll:GetKeyState http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms927178.aspx user32.dll:GetKeyboardState http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646299%28VS.85%29.aspx Virtual-Key Codes http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms927178.aspx

On the behalf of Florian: Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
