Yes, I do have the same concern.

Nina:

I can tell from the tone of your message that my message could be taken the wrong way. The way I wrote it was a very poor attempt to be funny (in a sarcastic kind of way). For this I apologize. If you review my posts you will see that I’m an advocate/evangelist for DNN and that I try to contribute to the community as much as possible within my time constraints.

Now, going back to the simple issue of setting the focus on the login form. I have been fixing that myself in my installations since DNN version 1.0.10 I believe. Along the way, and it took a long time for this to be included in the core, it was finally fixed in the DNN distributions. That is, until 4.4.1 when it was undone. Now, I develop software myself and maybe the point that I was trying to make is that this should have been caught in testing as features that were working before should not be broken/undone with new releases unless there is a very good reason for it. It is just a development principle.

And the reason why this annoys me a little is because I’m doing development of a module for authenticated users only, therefore, every time I compile and do testing I have to login. When the cursor is not there I have to use the mouse, which I avoid because I like to navigate using just the keyboard. And for this I don’t like to use the “Remember me” feature to avoid unforeseen problems. Maybe that is why this was not caught during the core testing in the first place, the tester(s) did not have to login manually.

Again, not a big deal, I will not attempt to use humor/sarcasms in my posts again.
