I have the following text in my signon.tbl file: ***** . bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla_login zach@math.berkeley.edu *Bugzilla_password ****** . bugzilla.mozilla.org cc lchiang@netscape.com qa_contact esther@netscape.com bug_file_loc short_desc Compose window can't be closed after using address picker status_whiteboard dependson blocked *form_name *********** A. I understand the first part, but how did the second part get in the signon file? B. The text from the second part shows up on all bugzilla bug pages. More specifically: Whatever bug I display, the summary says Compose window can't be closed after using address picker", and bug queries are prefilled with that summary. 2000.01.02.09 build Linux

In order to test this bug out, I need to be submitting bugs and saving passwords. I'll be doing this by continuously modifying the tfv on this bug and resubmitting it. So any such changes are just noise and should be ignored. The true tfv of this bug will remain at M13.

I can't reproduce this. But I can venture a guess as to how the garbage second part showed up in your signon.tbl file. There was a bug which I fixed a while ago that was causing hidden fields to be showing up in the data that I was saving in signon.tbl. And, indeed, there are hidden fields on the bugzilla page having the very names that appear in your report. So what must have been happening is that one of these hidden fields was being further misinterpreted as a password field and that was causing single-signon to do its automatic prefill. In particular, the field of "form_name" was doing it (the * preceding form_name is the clue that it was being interpreted as a password field. There was no bug report filed on the problem I just described but the fix was made on 12-22-99 to the file singsign.cpp. Please delete your signon data (delete signon.tbl, any files starting with numbers, and remove the wallet and signon entries from prefs.js) and try again. If you can again get a garbage signon.tbl file, then reopen this bug. For now I'm going to mark it as fixed, based on the checkin that I made on 12-22.
