Comment 9 for bug 1438976

I’m not sure why this report is still open for System Settings, since it has a merged branch there and r349 shows no Cut/Copy in password fields. But just in case … The original report and (apparently) the toolkit branch disables “Select All”, which is incorrect. There is no reason to disable “Select All” for a password field — you can select the field contents manually anyway — and GTK, Android, and iOS all allow it.

(Purely coincidentally, halfway through writing this comment I had to lock the screen, and returned to find that a stuck key had typed thousands of characters into the password field. Because the field did not let me Select All for deletion, I had to restart the PC.)
