But what's been happening is that instead of seeing the current letter and the dots before it, I either see nothing or I can barely see a peek of something (it generally just looks like this ' ). Last night when trying to sign into Photobucket, I noticed a white box appear over the text field where you type your password. So I'm starting to wonder if that box is covering up what I'm typing.
I don't think that made a lick of sense. But I guess what I'm saying is just that when typing into a password field, it just doesn't work too well. Maybe someone can explain it better than I can.
But keep up the good work!

That tickles something in the back of my memories. I have a vague recollection of once or twice seeing a web page rendered such that there was a white box the same size as the password input, floating one line above the input itself (which was also visible). It only happened when I did something that caused the browser to redo its layout, like switching from portrait to landscape or opening/closing the keyboard on my Droid. I never fully figured out what user actions triggered the behavior, but it seems to track with the idea that there might be a second input at work with password inputs.
