Adam, et al:
I did two more fresh installs last night to see if I could reproduce
this, and was unable to. So, I have no idea if I was doing something
wrong in the first instance, or what.
So I guess it counts as "resolved", for some values therof.
That's, um, a rather strange one. It's hard to know what kind
of info is
best apart from the obvious 'how can you reproduce it' - AFAIK those are
pretty standard GTK+ text entry boxes and all anaconda does is compare
their contents.
So basically the bug is this:
1. type 'correcthorsebatterystaple' in box 1
2. type 'correcthorsebatterystaple' in box 2
NO MATCH
1. type 'c' in box 1
2. type 'c' in box 2
3. type 'o' in box 1
4. type 'o' in box 2
5. type 'r' in box 1
6. type 'r' in box 2
(SOME TIME LATER)
49. type 'e' in box 1
50. type 'e' in box 2
MATCH
right? I guess the other info is whether it depends on the actual
password used, and if so, what's a password that triggers it.
I definitely haven't seen that in my F21 testing. I tend to use the
password '111111', but I do use 'correcthorse@"' sometimes for
keyboard
layout tests.
