This testcase it really too large to debug -- 3MB of infragistics + jquery isn't something we can wade into. It would be helpful if someone familiar with the internals of those libraries can summarize what they're doing.

I strongly this bug is a WONTFIX anyway. We've made a number of changes over the last year to improve performance and responsiveness, which can subtly change the timing of exactly when we fill in fields. Sounds like one of these libraries is clearing out the password field for some reason, and it only happened to work before.

Taking in account comment #6, I am going to untrack it. If someone disagree, please let us know.
