23141 - replacing text in a password field - first character is missing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22647

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[cbegle]

M12, tried on NT and Linux RH 6.0.

1. In a password field, type some text.
2. Select the text, and replace the password by typing some characters.
3. Submit the form.
4. Check the console.  Note that the first character of the new password is missing.

Kind of a pain.  The first time, I guess I entered my password wrong.
Subsequent attempts at re-entering my password failed because of this bug.  Took
me a while to figure out why my password was not being accepted.

I'll attach a test case.

I believe eric already fixed this.  If not, then it's a dup of a bug he already
has.  Reassigning to eric.  Chris, if more of these come in just assign them to
eric for dup-ing.  Thanks.

Well, I can't claim to have fixed this, but somebody did since M12.  I'll mark
it a dup.  Thanks!
