Transparent Textboxes on login

If I click in the textbox for username or password the text disappears and becomes like transparent, the cursor is there though and shows where it is. If I try to type something new in, the text doesn't show but the cursor moves.

What version of windows? Not sure what to tell you since it works fine on both computers I have here, and haven't heard anyone else have a problem with it, not is there really any other way to change it to have the same effect as far as I know.

XP. And it doesn't even let me enter numerical symbols, i.e. !@#%^& etc etc...

Well the symbols is the filtering of the code, since you're not allowed to log in with that kind of stuff in your username/password anyways.

Oh well that makes sense. I figured out I can highlight it, click to the other box, then click back and click to the other box again and it'll show.
Edit: And the password field isn't being converted to *'s even though PasswordChar is set to *.

Very strange. Sorry to say I can't be of any help unless my computer lets me replicate the problem.

I have XP, and work fine for me. :roll:

I'm sure it has something to do besides just being on XP. The two machines I code on are XP and it works, but one doesn't display the **** for the password. Different builds of XP do different, weird stuff.

As long as the players don't have a problem then it's fine with me ^^ Thanks for the help anyway.
