This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 8 Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2013-05-22 19:13:35 UTC
Cond-nak -- it's possible this bug will be fixed by the rebase, but if it isn't, it probably needs to be fixed upstream first.

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 05:17:19 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 14 Martin Krajnak 2015-12-04 10:28:43 UTC
Tested on all available RHEVM versions with IE9, black dots are appearing while password is being typed.

Comment 15 Ondrej Holy 2015-12-07 08:12:42 UTC
Martin, thanks for the testing. So it seems the bug has been fixed by the rebase. I am closing the bug as per comment 8 and comment 14.
