With build 2000011508win32, go to any pages with a form with a password field,
and instead of having the usual **** you see the real password (ie. characters
and numbers).
Same problem under Linux with http://slashdot.org/

Build ID: 2000011508 Linux
Severity: normal → critical
Summary: password boxes showing passwords → [DOGFOOD] password boxes showing passwords
Nominated as [DOGFOOD] and u/ged to critical, seeing as I think people wouldn't
want to use a browser daily if this bug was present ;-)

this sounds like a serious regression.  I know of no code that's changed on my
end to cause this.  I'll look into it asap.

all OS's, as expected.
This is something that the editor handles, not the frame.  Do any of you on
the cc list know of any code which may have changed in the past few days to
cause this?  Pulling a new tree now...
looking into whether this shows up in my build, in case it's me...

Waterson sez, of a current build:

HTML forms and password dialogs no longer display the '*' character.
Instead, they display exactly what you type.

This is a great feature: I always used to miskey my password! No more
"Invalid Login, Please Try Again"!

I misspoke on IRC today. I am seeing stars in the password -dialogs-, but not in
regular password -text fields- on web pages (e.g., bugzilla's login). Not sure
if this is the same problem or not.
this is all very confusing.  password text fields were working in my tree when i
checked in.  i wonder if different people have been independently causing the
same bug...
Hmmm I can't reproduce this in my 01/18/2000 WinNt build either. I see stars in
the mail password dialog, password field in an HTML form, and in bugzilla's
login page.
Adding myself to the CC list.

Spoke with waterson by phone. He will see if he can reproduce this with his
build from today.

Yeah, this works for me today. Marking as FIXED.
On Linux build 2000.01.24.08:

The htaccess password dialog is a grey window, with a blinking caret, no text
boxes.  After I click close to the caret, the user ID box has focus, and I can
type.  After I start typing, the white box and the typed text appears.  To enter
the password, I have to click where the password field would ordinarily be; at
most one "*" is displayed.  No field labels, or "OK", "Cancel" buttons are
displayed.  POP server password dialog works fine.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Clearing FIXED resolution due to reopen.

I just realized that this bug was originally for password form fields. I have no
trouble with the form fields, just with the htaccess password dialog. If it's
not related, let me know, and I'll file a separate bug.
this is not the same bug.  I suspect bad xul for the dialog.  Bill?  Should this 
go to you?  Please forward to whoever is appropriate if you are not the right 
person...

Per today's PDT - 

Marking FIXED, please set up a new bug for the htaccess problem AND a testcase 
for it in the new bug.
