Version: 0.11 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Fedora RPMs When I have mis=typed my login password, I would like to be able to use `Shift + Home' to select what I have typed and then overwrite it correctly. `Shift + an arrow key' is unresponsive too. And mouse selection is also not possible. This functionality is available in most password dialogs I am aware of, such as MSN Messenger and Mozilla Firefox. Thanks for reading.
I just unlocked my screen and realised that that password dialog behaves in the same way. So perhaps I'll take this higher up the tree. And I've also realised that I can achieve what _I_ want to do using `Ctrl + a'. But the lack of `Shift +' options still leaves a certain functionality gap, which someone might require later.
Kopete has no control over this behavior - it is enabled by Qt when the echoMode of a QLineEdit is set to QLineEdit::Password. See: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qlineedit.html#echoMode-prop
