200653 - Password Manager thinks Mozillazine Subject is username and repeatedly prompts accordingly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 153986

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

[Mark Bickford]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Password Manager apparently sees the Subject field in Mozillazine as the
Username for the form, as it prompts to save username/password info everytime
the user posts a message, even after the info has been saved.  This leads to two
scenarios:

1.  Subjects get re-inserted into subsequent posts, leading to frequent "How did
that happen?" posts by Mo'zine users;
2.  Users who manually modify the password file to only store the proper
credentials are prompted to save their credentials every time they post a
message.  I am assuming that "Never for this site" would erase any credentials
already stored, making that an invalid workaround.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Version 1:
1. Post a message on Mozillazine, replying to a post with Subject "Foo"
2. Confirm to Password Manager that you want your login information saved
3. Post a reply to a different thread with Subject "Bar"

Version 2:
1. Post a message on Mozillazine, replying to a post with Subject "Foo"
2. Confirm to Password Manager that you want your login information saved
3. Find the wallet file, edit the www.mozillazine.org entry and remove the line
for the "TITLE" field
4. Post a reply to a different thread


Actual Results:  
Version 1: Mozilla entered Subject "re: Foo" from the previous post in addition
to the proper login information when replying to the second thread.

Version 2: Mozilla inserted the appropriate username and password, but prompted
me to save the login info for this site.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have used the "Re: bar" subject generated by Mozillazine for the
second post, without prompting to resave the login info.
