Why does the cursor jump from the Name box to the password box when logging in to Gmail?
When logging in to Gmail, I often (8/10) times find that while I am still typing the username, the cursor has jumped to the password box. The result is that part of the username is typed into the password box. I then have to click back onto the username box and re-enter the username.

Yes, this is very annoying!
I suspect a timing issue, that is, Google's scripts are still running for a while after the page is displayed and when the scripts see a non-blank value in the username, they moves the focus to the password even if you are in the midst of typing.
If I wait a few seconds before I start typing in the username field, there's no problem. (I haven't experimented with the amount of time.)
