I have had this problem going on 6 months now, and even with the upgrades to Safari it has not fixed the problem. I have a Apple MacBook MC207LL/A and all software is updated.When I visit any website, enter password, and click submit it will erase the password box and I would have to reenter the password to finally be able to login.

So in all I have to enter password typically 2 times for me to login. Sometimes the password box will reset immediately after I enter the password without clicking on login. I could just hit the tap button and it will erase automatic.

Any idea how to fix this?

Try "Reset Safari..." from the main Safari menu.

I have attempted that about 20 times already. I am starting to wonder if it's some sort of spyware. I actually installed a keylogger on the computer, and ever since then it has been having this password issue. I removed the keylogger using the company provied uninstaller.

I guess you could try trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
You will need to reconfigure your Safari options to your liking again...

Sorry I can't offer anything more specific.
Except maybe, Repair Permissions
