Tools > Set up Sync > I've never used sync before

TAB > sends to the second field (username).
If you enter a SHORT username, THEN: TAB sends to the PASSWORD field (OK)
If you enter a LONG username (say 16 characters), then TAB does NOT send to the next field, but instead rotates briefly through the 'connect to' field before generating an 'Unknown Error'.
Interestingly: if you FIRST input a SHORT username, TAB through, and only THEN input a LONG username ... the 'next field' TAB works?!
Good luck!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Set up Sync > I've never used Sync before
2. TAB
3. Enter LONG username (say 15 characters)
4. TAB sends back to the 'select server' field.
5. Press and hold (repeat) TAB.
Actual Results:  
Unknown Error report generated

Expected Results:  
Next field

As per details.

Good luck guys!

Hmmm - it seems that there is a maxlength for username+password - even if you CLICK into the password field, after a few characters the error is repeated.

I can't reproduce this. FWIW, the brief UI blocking when you leave the username field is being fixed.

There's a max length for usernames, 32 characters. I can't reproduce the errors you're seeing for 15 or 16 characters, though.
