149369 2007-08-30 06:36:30 +0000 KDE widget that accepts password behaves wrong when keyboard layout is not US 2009-04-27 22:21:19 +0000 1 1 10 Unmaintained kdelibs general unspecified Debian testing Linux RESOLVED FIXED NOR normal --- 1 ana coolo kde-2011.08 0 oldest_to_newest 543402 0 ana 2007-08-30 06:36:30 +0000 Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux [Bug from the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413055] Max Dmitrichenko: I have configured my keyboard for two layouts "us" and "ru". If I switch keyboard to "ru" layout and KDE dialog prompting password appears then for every character I type into password field two asteriks appear. To reproduce it, you can run Control Center and in any administration applet click appropriate button to switch into admin mode and when dialog prompting root password appears switch the layout to different language and try to type something. Another way to reproduce it is KDE lock screen: try to enter password there with switched layout. Plain Qt programs do not suffer from this bug. Checked on Psi. ----- > One thing I don't fully understand in your bug report. Is it just a 'cosmetic' > issue - or does logging in not work? > What if you use backspace? do one or two stars dissapear ? No, it isn't just a 'cosmetic' issue. Backspace deletes only one star. I didn't check weather a correct password is entered or not, because I don't have passwords which contain non-latin chars. I suspect that problem is with UTF-8, i.e. entering a two-byte UTF-8 character displays two "*". ----- Ok. I have found the bug and written the patch. The bug is in KPasswordEdit widget. The author has chosen to store password in a raw char[] array (maybe, for security reasons). When the password field was updated, it printed as many * as the length of this array. Backspace deleted only one char, that is a half of UTF-8 cyrillic char, so this is definitely a bug. I've tested it with latin and cyrillic passwords, both works!. ----- Attached patch from Max Dmitrichenko for your consideration. 543403 1 21510 ana 2007-08-30 06:38:07 +0000 Created attachment 21510 Patch by Max Dmitrichenko <dmitrmax@rain.ifmo.ru> 653554 2 kde-2011.08 2008-10-14 12:29:41 +0000 I can confirm this bug in KDE 3.x when typing in Hebrew. I will check KDE 4.x as soon as I get the chance. 748668 3 kde-2011.08 2009-04-27 22:21:19 +0000 This issue seems to be resolved in KDE 4.2.2. If you still have this issue, then please reopen.
