Wifi input fields contents not selected for onclick event

[ricklon]

Wifi input fields contents not selected for onclick event. All input fields seem to have this problem. It causes extra mouse clicks and typing to work around.

Ricklon, I investigated this and while it is of course possible to implement such a functionality, it has some drawback: you won't be able to select parts of the input fields' contents with the mouse.

Besides, when you use the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys to move between the input fields, their contents are selected by default. When using the mouse to put the focus in an entry field, you just have to hold the mouse button and drag the mouse pointer over the text you want to select.

I do not see the need for changing this behaviour which is pretty much standard in every browser and virtually any web application that uses forms.

I've been thinking about this. The real problem comes from the hint text being real text in the field. This is a low level annoyance. It's only an issue when I'm creating multiple test accounts.
