1179870 - click & holding on the "X" or drop down menu in the password doorhanger won't hide visible password

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1217134

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, defect)

When you click and hold on either the "X" or the drop down menu in the doorhanger on OSX, the visible password won't be hidden. In Win/Ubuntu, as soon as you click & hold on either the "X" or the dropdown menu the password is automatically hidden when visible. This is pretty trivial but we should have the same behavior on all three platforms.

- Attached two gifs, one in OSX that show's the issue happening and the other under Windows which works as expected.

STR:

- Open Nightly on OSX
- Login into any website (password doorhanger should be visible)
- Click on the password field (password should now be visible)
- Click & Hold either the "X" or the dropdown menu (password won't be hidden and will stay visible)

I guess we could switch to a mousedown handler instead of a click

We're switching to an explicit toggle in bug 1217134 so I think this won't be relevant anymore.
