[FIXED] BUG Password field & setEmptyText

[kescatefou]

There is a bug when using setEmptyText on a PasswordField (TextField with setPassword to true). The empty text is replaced by ****.

Empty text is disabled when the field is a password field. Fix is in SVN.

With all due respect, but that is not a very smart idea.
You would like to have empty text on password fields as well.

Let us say you have two text fields, username and password. Instead of putting labels, you can just set empty texts in both fields to notify that one is username and the other one is password.
Same way facebook is doing.

Same way facebook is doing.

Not really,

Facebook actually shows a input text field with the default text "Password". The input fields type will change to password once you focus it.

Thank for the reply
That is the effect I wanted to have with my fields.

I think this behavior should be provided by the library itself... It looks kind of weird if you have empty texts for all your fields EXCEPT the password field.... so if you want to have a nice look everyone has to implement this himself...
