TYPO3 Core

The reason for the bug is, that tbe_editor.js was loaded in the HEAD section of the HTML document - what isn't bad in general. However, some parts in the core define a "typoSetup" object and create an instance in the variable TS.

I removed tbe_editor.js from the HEAD section again - thus, it's going to override the typoSetup object. For this case it's how it was before - a better solution would require more changes and thus only for TYPO3 4.3.

Please test and give a short feedback. Thanks!

I can confirm the bug, and can confirm that its annoying.

typo3\alt_doc.php Lines 467 to 470:
function typoSetup () { //
this.uniqueID = "";
}
var TS = new typoSetup();

are overriding the typoSetup object that is defined in typo3\jsfunc.tbe_editor.js as:
function typoSetup () {
this.passwordDummy = '********';
this.decimalSign = '.';
}
var TS = new typoSetup();

Thus TS.passwordDummy is undefined when the script executes to hide the password field.

Frank, exactly - that's why the jsfunc.tbe_editor.js file has to be loaded after that declaration.

This problem must be solved in combination with issue #19423 - please look there for patches against Trunk and TYPO3 4.2.2
