Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 68978
"do not match" messages show up before you finish typing first go at root password

Description of Problem: Miland beta3 on a Vaio SR1K. GUI install. Account configuration screen. I began typing the root password into the "Root Password" box. It told me first that it was too short for the first four letters, then that it did not match for the rest of the typing. It did something similar for the "Confirm" box. It's not so bad in the second box, because it clearly has something to compare with; but in the first, it's extremely disconcerting. I think it should only do the "is too short" message in the first box. Not "does not match" when it's the first one.
Like the other issue, its been this way a long time. I plan on redoing this screen for the next release.
This screen will be reworked.
This is handled differently now
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
