New issue 23219 by su...@chromium.org: IME should be disabled in password  
box.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23219

Chrome Version       : 4.0.219.3.0(27326)
URLs (if applicable) : any webpage with a password box
OS version               : 10.5.8
Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable): Correct
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Correct
Behavior in Chrome for Windows: Correct

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a webpage with a password box (eg. gmail.com's login page)
2. Try to enable IME and input something with IME in the password box.
3.

What is the expected result?
IME should not be enabled and used in a password box.

What happens instead?
IME can be enabled and can input text in a password box.

Allowing IME in a password box should be considered as a serious security
issue. Think about if an IME records all input of a user and sends them to
a remote server, the user's password can easily be stolen in this way.
