Details

Click on any of the articles in the above URL (I think they all require registration...), and you will get a form asking you to give your registration user and password. I fill them in (and whether or not I check the box to save it on my computer) NGLayout freezes.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Severity: major → critical
Priority: P2 → P1
The problem here is that NGLayout crashes (currently with a beep, although it wasn't that way before) upon submission of *any* form with an <input type=password ...> See my demos at: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/tests/nglayout/form.html (causes crash) http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/tests/nglayout/form2.html (doesn't cause crash) Raising priority and severity because this involves *many* sites, i.e., the NYTimes, bugzilla, etc.

Resolution: --- → INVALID
Gecko no longer crashes on submitting passwords. The new "beep" is from a message in the DOS shell asking if you would like to save the username/password for this form, and must be cleared by typing a y or n, followed by an Enter into the DOS shell before the browser continues to submit the form.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID → ---
This bug, although it was fixed, has now reappeared. See the form.html and form2.html tests above. On form.html, I click submit, the button is depressed (but does not rise) and then neither the viewer text-window or the display window will paint or respond to anything. (and I discovered this trying to use bugzilla)
FYI, I am using the 99-01-27 Win32 build.

This is fixed again, as of 99-02-01. Closing bug, again.
sent message to dbaron, clarifying entry.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Yes, I meant resolving as fixed. I reopened the bug because the problem reappeared, and then closed it again when it went away a few days later. Verified fix by testing the page http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/tests/nglayout/form.html . Therefore I'm marking it as verified.
