Re: 3.9 Links package broken?

As of a few minutes ago links becomes catatonic when I position
the cursor on a text input field. The program at that point responds
only to an <esc>, at which point the file menu comes up and I can
select exit, which works. The catatonic behavior happens repeatably
at the webmail page at mindspring.com when I attempt to login to send
email. It is perhaps interesting to note that when I use lynx to access
the page, I get two warnings that the ssl certificates are invalid.
Links does not report that problem.
I cannot use lynx to send email since lynx does not support javascript
and that capability is required at the mindspring webmail page.

Can anyone reproduce this behavior with links?

Thanks,

I discovered by accident last night that links is not actually
catatonic; but it only recognises upper case. No lower case characters
are accepted as input to text fields in html forms, at least for the html
form I use the most.
