Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I can reproduce this bug. My community uses HTTP basic auth as a
 protection against automated attacks, and it's quite annoying to misspell
 my username or password. I have to close the TBB and start it up again.

 Maybe also of note: choosing a New Identity from the onion menu doesn't
 resolve the problem, so this might be fingerprinting the browser instance
 as well.
