On pages with large numbers of DOM nodes, entering a value into a password field and then removing the value cause the browser to hang. The unresponsiveness occurs when the last character of the password input is deleted. The example page at http://jsbin.com/imuqed/3/quiet has 10,000 div elements each containing a text node and then a password input. The length of time of the delay is proportional to the number of DOM nodes. If the number of DOM nodes is halved then the delay is approximately halved.
This does not occur with text input types.
This bug has been verified in Chrome Beta, Chrome Canary, Safari, and Webkit nightly. It occurs on Windows and MacOS.
