REPRO:

1. Make /uia2atk/test/samples/moonlight/PasswordBox
2. Run PasswordBoxSample.html and Orca
3. On firefox page, insert 'asfd' to the PasswordBox

RESULTS:

Orca:
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'a'
SPEECH OUTPUT: 's'
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'f'
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'd'

EXPECTED RESULTS:

Orca shouldn't speech out the characters, but should speech '*' to instead, that would be safety, and consistent with Firefox accessibility


COMMENTS:

Please run http://gmail.novell.com, and run orca, when you type password into the box, orca will speech:
SPEECH OUTPUT: '*'
SPEECH OUTPUT: '*'
SPEECH OUTPUT: '*'
SPEECH OUTPUT: '*'

This may not be possible as I believe Orca will only speak '*' if the value of the control's text is non-empty.  See #564346 for a detailed explanation of why the control's text is always empty.
