Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page that requires you to enter your password in a web form (reddit.com, mail2web.com, there are tons) 2. type an upper-case character in by using caps lock rather than holding shift (ie instead of shift-a do <caps>a</caps> to type A) 3. :( Actual Results: password rejected Expected Results: password accepted tried in safe mode with same resutls.
PS: this is a regression from beta 4.
PPS: Does not seem to happen when firefox beta 5 is run on windows, according to CCW from IRC. If this is intended behavior, perhaps firefox should recognize when the user turns caps lock on when they enter the password field (and not convert it to lower case in this event)
Confirming on Mac using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040304 Minefield/3.0pre, I used the test case in Bug 426901 to confirm. Need a regression window.

(In reply to comment #5) > Isn't this fixed by bug 424524? > with the test case in duped bug 426901, that works correctly Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040317 Minefield/3.0pre Caps-lock ON, type ABCD, returned value is ABCD (no lowercase). Someone should verify this with real world forms, though.
