(Whiteboard: dupeme?)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20130215130331 Steps to reproduce: Tried to copy a password without opening the password manager. Just from the web page, like. Actual results: I got dots. Expected results: I should have gotten my password in my clipboard, with no fuss. Someone with a master password should get a pop-up for said master password when they attempt what I did.

Duplicate of bug 217729 as identified by Aleksej, why not resolved as such?

Different expected results, rsx11m.
Ok, so if your point is that the master password should pop up when you try to copy a password from a filled-in form field onto the clipboard, and only allow it once, then this would be different from the other bug (see bug 217729 comment #4 for all other cases). BTW: I don't see why this bug ended up in the Editor component, this is about content filled into form elements by the password manager.
It appears that "Form Controls" is the correct component for this problem.
