The highlighted bar/(typing?-)cursor always stays in the first line of the input window although I already type in the second or third one.

I think this is a problem with the lua function user_input_string() . Please confirm this also affects the CAPTCHA used by the firmware update server.

I don't see this as pressing, as both places this is currently used are intended to take short (one-line) inputs (so lowering priority, setting post 0.14).

Resurrecting my idea to limits the number of characters the player could enter is probably not the best way to solve this.

Yes, the captcha is affected, too.

Renaming to better reflect where the problem lies.

You will never need to type something this long, especially seeing is this is largely (though not entirely due to user_input_string which isn't the best of ideas I have had) a developer tool. I'm leaning towards closing the ticket with won't fix but we need some junior tasks for GSoC applicants, this is one of them.

It was fixed in r4507.
