F21 TC-3 installation issue

I installed TC-3 in a VirtualBox VM (latest vbox release, 64-bit) t'other
day. Mostly it went quite well with one really oddball exception. I don't
know if it's a general problem (haven't seen other mentions of it)
or not, but it's weird enough I thought to mention it here.

When creating a user in Anaconda, I entered the password twice, as prompted,
and it said they didn't match. so I did it again. and again. and again. It
insisted they didn't match.

tried the same thing for the root password and got the same result.

So, I entered a one-character password, in both fields, and it did not
say they didn't match. so I tried two chars. ok so far. by working my way
up to the full password, one char at a time in both fields, it allowed me
to get the whole thing in successfully. This worked for both my username
and for root.

Never seen any such thing before!

If anyone wants me to, I can go try more installs and see if I can
reproduce. If I CAN, what sorts of extra info would be helpful when i
report it?

thanks!
