[vwnc] [7.6][BUG] Password fields allow cut/copy

Boris Popov, DeepCove Labs (SNN)
That's just silly, don't you think? One shouldn't be able to copy/paste
stuff from password fields IMHO be it via the context menu or keyboard
shortcuts.

Cheers,

-Boris

What does it copy? the real data or the '*'s??  If it copies the '*'s you could then have a convoluted way of
creating a string of *'s  :)

Then that is very bad -- if I walk away from my screen
someone can figure out my pwd.
