http authentication name is not displayed in dialog

[Lee Maguire]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

When logging into a site that uses http authentication the dialog for username/password
no longer displays the name/identifier of the authentication.

(see screenshot attachment)

hardy
epiphany-browser 2.21.90-0ubuntu3
(after upgrading to xulrunner-1.9 1.9~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1)

Actually, the dialog issue just seems to be the tip of the iceberg. epiphany seems completely unstable after running the hardy updates.
I've reverted xulrunner.

This is pretty bad for usability. :(

confirming, thanks for the report.

I'm writing to make a case for increasing the importance of this bug. A number of web sites provide pertinent information in the realm; having this suppressed in the authentication dialog makes it impossible to satisfy the login requirements for such sites.

All the upstream focus seems to be around the Webkit move in 2.24. It's
probably only a very minor bug though.

Additionally, the Page Info function is completely wrecked, trying to open
an itms://link will give you a very broken dialogue, about:config bugs out
big style on setting integer values, the invalid TLS certificate page "Add
Exception" button doesn't work... the list goes on.

GtkMozEmbed is basically just crap Mozilla discharge, and we should probably
just cut our losses now. Bugs like this need to be fixed indeed, but given
that the Webkit port will be usable soon, I can't see anyone being motivated
enough to hack on this code anymore. If you're keen, though, give it a go!

the issue is an upstream one, could you open it on bugzilla.gnome.org too?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
