This bug is in regards to the drop down menu you get while using from completion.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a form that requires your user name to be typed in.
2. Type it in wrong
3. (The login fails)
4. Login correctly
5. Next time you're at the page, the incorrect completion is presented as you
type your user name
Actual Results:  
A list of completions shows up, including inaccurate ones.

Expected Results:  
The menu shows up with an additional entry "Edit Entries", where you may delete
entries from this popup.

The workaround is to Clear Saved Form Information and then login to the site.
Then the correct login will be the only one saved.

I know that on Windows you can delete individual saved form entries by using
Shift+Delete while that entry is selected. Does this work on Mac too?

That does not work on Mac (or Ctrl-Delete, Opt-Delete, Cmd-Delete)
