Note sure if this is a windows 11 22h2 problem or in 7.24.1

New install, existing user account. When asking for password I tried to run a password app by entering the name of the app in the search tab. The search tab highlighted when I clicked the mouse but any text I typed in went instead into the password box of the Boinc manager. I had to close the username/password dialog box before I could run my password manager.

Problem with the password manager. I too have issues with a password manager which always grabs focus of any input box.

Solution is to copy the password for the account into the scratch buffer and paste into the desired input box.

This issue might be related to Windows 11 22H2. During a new install, the password input field in the BOINC Manager's dialog box seems to capture keyboard input intended for other windows like the search bar. Closing the dialog box allows normal operation.
