34120 - When Mozilla prompts for a password, password field not active

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27784

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[rob]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000033111

In Mozilla's password dialog box, the cursor starts off blinking in the
'password' field, giving the impression that you can type in it. However, if you
do type, nothing happens. You have to click inside the password field first.
When you click in it, nothing changes, but then you are able to type the password.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page where you have to log in with a username and password, like
Slashdot or even Bugzilla itself.
2. Log in, and say "yes" when asked whether to save the username and password.
3. Mozilla will prompt you for your master password (either to come up with one,
or type in what it is, depending whether you already have one) in a dialog box.
4. Try to type your password.


Actual Results:  The password field isn't active to accept your keystrokes, even
though the cursor is blinking in it. You have to click in it before you can type.	

Expected Results:  The password field should be active from the start.

Not single signon.  Changing component to xpapps and reassigning.

I thought this bug was already filed but I couldn't find it.  However it's 
similar to bug 25459 and bug 30221.
