Re: Orca spells passwords in text applications

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

Do you have key echo turned on?   This would cause keys to be echoed as 
they are typed, and thus might cause the echoing you are hearing.  The 
solution is to turn key echo off.  Unfortunately, I'm going to guess 
it's not that simple since you don't seem to experience the same problem 
in desktop apps and since you see "*" on the braille display.

Which text browser are you using and which web site are you visiting?  
I'd like to try to reproduce the problem here.
