Thank you for sending in your bug report. I think what might have happened is that you accidentally told it to never ask if you want to save your password for that site. If you got to Edit->Preferences, Security Tab and click the "Exceptions..." button a dialog will show all your sites that will NOT save a passsword. See if google.com or gmail.com are there and remove from the list. Let me know if that fixes or not. Thank you!

also, check to see if there are two entries for gmail.com or google.com under the password bank. I have had that happen to where one had my password and the other was blank for the same user name, causing it to act the same way

Google.com was there in the exceptions ! { I should avoid giving my laptop
to my friends ;) }

Thank you and sorry for wasting precious time and space.
