Description of problem: During installation of F21, if the strings for the Root Password (and the Confirmation of the Root Password) are typed too quickly, Anaconda does not record those strings in the correct order, leading to the passwords not matching and the installation unable to continue This has been reproduced both in openQA (which tries to type strings with a 0.2s delay between each one) and by at least one human according to https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-November/123680.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Workstation 21 How reproducible: 100% when using openQA and it's 'type_string' function to type the password Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the root password section of the installer 2. Type a string into the root password field with a delay of about 0.2s between each keypress 3. Type the same string string into the confirm root password field with a delay of about 0.2s between each keypress Actual results: Passwords do not match, installation cannot continue Expected results: Passwords should match Additional info: This bug was found using the openQA automated test framework running the Fedora test suite available at https://github.com/sysrich/os-autoinst-distri-fedora This issue has been 'worked around' within openQA by typing each character individually with a 1second delay between each See test source: https://github.com/sysrich/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/blob/master/tests/installation/root_password.pm As soon as this bug is resolved however, the old behaviour can be restored to confirm the fix is active
