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. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
