Unable to use Cmd+A in Password field when mounting volume

Open ghost opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

When you are attempting to Mount a volume, a Password field will be shown. When entering a very long password, it's possible to make a typo - it's therefore useful to be able to use Cmd+A to select all characters entered and delete it. This is not presently possible, at least on my machine.

Expected behavior

Pressing Cmd+A will select all text in the Password field.

Observed behavior

Pressing Cmd+A does nothing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Attempt to mount any volume.
  2. When the Password field appears, enter a few characters.
  3. Press Cmd+A
  4. ASSERT Nothing will happen
  5. EXPECT All characters in the field will be highlighted.
