MLS 3.5 vs 3.4.3 on failed password during login
Could somebody with an old (meaning current, 3.4.3, or earlier) version of MLS try logging in. Specify a valid username, then type an incorrect password. Get the prompt about how you did something bad. Where does your cursor go? In 3.5 it goes somewhere mysterious requiring two [Tab] presses to get to the Password field, and something in my memory tells me that is not how it used to be. If it has changed, it probably makes sense to change it back.

Your memory is good. I just tried this on a test installation of MLS 3.4.3, and when I enter an incorrect password, dismissing the "Invalid Entry" dialog box puts the focus back on the Password field (which has appropriately been blanked). It's exactly what should happen, in my opinion.dajoker wrote:Could somebody with an old (meaning current, 3.4.3, or earlier) version of MLS try logging in.

I don't have a 3.5 installation handy right now, but your report of what it does would certainly lead me to agree with you that it should be changed back to have the 3.4.3 functionality in this regard.

Can't Reproduce
I can't reproduce in 3.5, please provide screen shots of what you are seeing.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Justin, I should have verified this personally before reporting it. Now that I've actually tried it on MLS 3.5, I can't see any problem -- it works just like it always has. It doesn't matter whether I click on OK or press Enter to dismiss the error dialog; the focus always returns to the Password field as it should
Dajoker, could you try this again and give us a screen shot or more detailed steps?

The detail I'm most interested in is after typing the password, are you hitting "enter" or clicking the on-screen button?

I've tried them both -- exact same experience either way. Any combination of clicking the Log In button or pressing Enter, and then clicking OK or pressing Enter to dismiss the error dialog -- they all work just fine.RussellHltn wrote:The detail I'm most interested in is after typing the password, are you hitting "enter" or clicking the on-screen button?

Well that's interesting. Either way for me... clicking on buttons or pressing [Enter] after the password, clicking on buttons or pressing [Enter] or [spacebar] to close the prompt about the bad password... either way my focus goes to somewhere impossible to see. Maybe it is just my computer after playing with a couple of these betas that has caused this (21021, or whatever is current, is my second beta version to be on here). I'll test on another machine and possibly reinstall to see if that makes a difference.
