*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
when tasks are heavy, and after type something in edit object, and after
type tab key, it should move the focus to next object that can receive
focus, but sometimes, because of other tasks running heavy, the focus
does not change, and the keys typed after the tab appear in the edit
where the tab key was already typed...
It might seem a bug or flaw with no interest, but it is a major security
breach, because, when I am in Firefox, and type, for example, at a login
page, the user name, then press the tab key and type the password and
then press the enter key, sometimes, I send the user name followed by
the password, all in the same edit of the user name, which shows the
password in screen and I think expose to the web the account
combination...
All this could be avoid if the edit object would have a property that
changed to true after the tab key is pressed, stopping further typing in
that edit, even if have the focus...
