717707 - When screen hibernates, all credentials typed in classic mode disappear

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Android Sync, defect, P1)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

this is an annoying bug.  when the android screen decides to timeout, reopening the device will wipe anything you had typed previously.   This is annoying, because typing the key is already a pain, and if a user has screen timeout set to the default 1 minute setting, they are going to hit this often.

Repro:
1) install rnewman's 1-12-2011 fennec build
2) launch fennec sync, and navigate to classic setup UI
3) enter in your credentials, and start typing in the fields.  but do not click connect.  instead, wait until the android screen self-times out
4) repower on the device after the timeout, and verify the credentials you typed are all wiped.

Expected:
- save the state of the credentials that are being typed after a screen timeout

Actual:
- screen timeout wipes all the hard work you've typed in, and you'll want to curse the device!

This will be a redraw event, just like Bug 716799.

STR:

- Launch Sync setup. Click "Advanced Setup" to launch manual credential entry.
- Type in credentials.
- Manually sleep the device (or wait for powersave).

Expected:
Username and Sync Key are not cleared; password field will be cleared.
