Well, I downloaded the actual beta and I can re-create it, it's a
matter of how one types things in, apparently, on the user creation
screen. I've exercised this four or five times this evening, and
it seems to always work as described below:
When the user creation screen first appears, if I type my name in
quickly, it appears as "derF Smith", then when I go on to enter a
password, it repeatedly fails. Makes me wonder if whatever caused
the reverse-ordering of the letters in my first name may not also be
messing with what I type into the password fields.
OTOH, if I wait a few seconds after the user creation appears, and
type the first name slowly, all is well: the name is not reversed,
and the password is accepted without complaint.
weird, eh?
