I am seeing a problem with TextField.setEchoCharacter() in my
tests. Specifically, only one character is echoed ans after the second
character is typed, the system beeps at me. The result is that what I
am trying to enter into the textfield is not being correctly
received. Other textfields in the same dialog do not have this
problem, just the one where I setEchoCharacter('*').

Here is the source for the dialog in question:

import java.awt.*;

public class ConnectDialog extends Dialog {

    public ConnectDialog(Frame parent) {

        super(parent, "Connection Strings", false);
        setLayout(null);
        addNotify();
        resize(502,229);
        label1=new Label("User ID:", Label.RIGHT);
        add(label1);
        label1.reshape(25,30,130,21);
        tfUserID=new TextField(31);
        tfUserID.setFont(new Font("Courier",Font.PLAIN,12));
        add(tfUserID);
        tfUserID.reshape(172,30,262,33);
        label2=new Label("Password", Label.RIGHT);
        add(label2);
        label2.reshape(25,75,130,21);
        tfPassword=new TextField(31);
        add(tfPassword);
        tfPassword.reshape(172,75,262,33);
        label3=new Label("Connection URL:", Label.RIGHT);
        add(label3);
        label3.reshape(25,120,130,21);
        tfUrl=new TextField(31);
        add(tfUrl);
        tfUrl.reshape(172,120,262,33);
        button1=new Button("OK");
        add(button1);
        button1.reshape(140,165,140,23);
  

     setResizable(false);
     tfPassword.setEchoCharacter('*');
    }

    public synchronized void show() {
     Rectangle bounds = getParent().bounds();
     Rectangle abounds = bounds();

     move(bounds.x + (bounds.width - abounds.width)/ 2,
     bounds.y + (bounds.height - abounds.height)/2);

     super.show();
    }

    public synchronized void wakeUp() {
     notify();
    }

    public boolean handleEvent(Event event) {
     if (event.id == Event.ACTION_EVENT && event.target == button1) {
clickedOKButton();
return true;
     }
     else

if (event.id == Event.WINDOW_DESTROY) {
hide();
return true;
}
     return super.handleEvent(event);
    }

   
    Label label1;
    TextField tfUserID;
    Label label2;
    TextField tfPassword;
    Label label3;
    TextField tfUrl;
    Button button1;
    
    public void clickedOKButton() {
        hide();
    }
    public String getUserID() {
return tfUserID.getText();
    }

    public String getPassword() {
return tfPassword.getText();
    }

    public String getUrl() {
        return tfUrl.getText();
    }
}
