Confirmed, but different on browsers.

I cannot replicate this

http://j4.chmst.de/index.php/login test here

It is a menuitem to login page - if I open here and click "Forgot your Password" or even before, the validation is too quick.
EDIT: I am on firefox, win 11, similar on chrome, but there it is like a flash and then opens the next screen

ah - its the same as #26317 then?

Not sure - but it could really be the same.

same script - same problem

Looks to be the same issue as #32692. Looking into this I'm pretty sure this is happening because when you land on the page the Username field is selected, so if you attempt to click without entering a valid Username the blur (unfocus) event is triggered, showing the validation message and jumping the page.

Happy to work on a fix, but will need some guidance how it wants to be approached. These are the options I can think of:

• A delay is added to the blur event function, just needs to long enough for the click event to fire
• The validation message is absolute positioned, so it doesn't effect the flow of the page
• The blur event is no longer used (unsure of an alternative)

Closing as having a pull request. Please test #39838 . Thanks in advance.
