sorry I have been so inattentive to this bug I can confirm that it still
exists in Lucid Beta 1. I have also got an exact way to replicate it. I
found it when I accidentally hit caps lock during the install when I was
typing my password I couldn't log in to my computer after installation
and it took me ages to figure out what I had done. So that is I typed
'PASSWORD123' instead of 'password123' So when I went to change my
password back to 'password123' I stumbled upon this bug. It seems that
when the only difference between two passwords is their capitalization
the program freezes and fails to display the warning that my passwords
are too similar this behavior is shown in password change 1.jpg. Whereas
when I changed my password from 'password123' to 'phssword123' (or any
such slight change) it displays the correct warning as shown in
'Password change 2.jpg'. Hope this helps only a small bug but we are so
close to mainstream acceptance don't want some uninformed media writer
picking on what looks to be like an awesome release because they couldnt
change their password. If you beed any more info let me know!
