I am writing this to possibly bring to some attention to a bug that has exsited throughout the duration of my time as an AIR developer (since AIR 3.2).... When publishing on iOS, textfields that have "displayAsPassword" do not behave correctly.
When giving focus to a textfield that is "displayAsPassword", things behave as expected... as I type I can see the *** beginning to appear .. The problem is when you focus out of the textfield... your password disappears... giving the indication it is blank... Though if you click the textfield again you will see it is in fact still there.
The biggest problem I have with this bug is that when you prepopulate a password field with a value (using some kind of save password option), the field is still blank, forcing someone to first click it to verify its actually filled out...
Is there any indication this will ever be fixed? I've only ever seen this http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969616 ... which basically says to make sure your font is embeded which is no duh... and no help.
