Hi,

Martin-Eric Racine noted in Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/302698> that
Galeon won't auto-fill forms such as password entry forms before the web page is
fully loaded.  This is a problem when pages contain borken images, or Flash
objects which prevent Galeon to complete the loading.

Maybe it is enough to wait for the full download of the HTML object holding the
form?

Anyway, I think it might be complex to solve this problem and password manager
works for most pages, hence the low severity.

Regards,

Actually, given the growing number of websites with embeded Flash objects, I
must consider this bug as an important one, since it essentially makes
auto-filling unusable on most websites I visit.

This is behaviour we inherit from mozilla.
