New password

Ah, I see what happened there. You had a new password from the change password email message that had ":" as the last character. See sample format following:

Password: abcdefg:

If you use the double-click feature in the mouse, the auto word boundry selection feature grabs only the abcdefg, leaving the colon off as a word break. Unfortunately, this issue is not limited to either the colon symbol or its position. If the last character is mostly any symbol, the word selection feature would leave that off, too. Try with these:

Password: abcdefg$
Password: abcdefg#
Password: abcdefg*

If we say, no symbols allowed as last character, then it is fixed for that position, but, if a symbol appears within the inner characters of a new password, the word break will simply move to either before or after the symbol. Examples:

Password: abcd$fgh
Password: ab&defgh

Double-click either of the above passwords with the mouse pointer over the "d". On the upper, it will select only the "abcd". On the lower, it will select the "defgh".

So basically, if we limit passwords to being able to select them with just a double click, we'd have to say no symbols are allowed to prevent the word boundry issue completely.

Sample of the email message with selection:



I'm afraid I don't see this change as really necessary. The new passwords are always 8 characters in that change dialog message, and I think people should be able to either manually select them, or simply type then in directly.

Which screen is this from? The normal change password procedure is done from: "User CP" > "Edit Email & Password" > (fill in the fields) > hit "Save Changes".

So where was the change password link/button from?
