Weird issue tongiht... I'm converting an old set of scripts to t1.4 and I had to turn off all the password flags on the password fields... it seemed that the system would hang... any fixes out there?

I ran into this issue awhile back and I think this was what I did to fix it.

In guiTextEditCtrl.cc look for this around line 968
if(mPasswordText)
{
      for(U32 i = 0; i<mTextBuffer.length()-1; i++)
         textBuffer.append(StringBuffer(mPasswordMask));
}

and replace the if statement with

if(mPasswordText && (mTextBuffer.length() > 1))

I believe what was happening was the code was not taking into account if mTextBuffer length = 0

Anyway, let me know if that works for you.
