Research direction

Reproduce the issue from an AL workspace by adding a launch target with UserPassword authentication, then triggering symbol download or launch and moving focus away from the credentials inputs. Start by tracing the AL Language extension's credentials input entry point; done means both username and password boxes remain open when they lose focus, including during copy/paste.
