Page can also be reached with a simple http://sbc.yahoo.com.
In the Linux version of Firefox (referenced above) the carot flashes in the UID
and/or the password entry fields and responds to the mouse, but will not accept
input from the keyboard (a user id or a password). You shouldn't need either to
duplicate this bug. I believe it is a problem in Firefox because everything
works fine in the Windows 98 SE version, and Konquerer (wash my mouth out with
soap, I know) also works on the same Linux platform (open Firefox, doesn't work;
open Konquerer and it works). I am using Gnome, by the way, not KDE, if that
makes a difference. Everything is the standard FC4 system, updated by yum, so
it should all be current. NOTE: It only seems to happen on this site so I can't
guarantee it isn't something screwy SBC or Yahoo have done, but the fact it
works with Windows and with Konqueror makes me suspicious.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://sbc.yahoo.com (Only in Linux, Windows works ok).
2. Carot should be flashing in the user id field, if not click on the field with
the mouse.
3. Attempt to enter anything in the field from the keyboard.
Actual Results:
No entry appears, unable to log in.
Expected Results:
UserID should have been entered, then password, then logged into the site.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
