Description petrus 2006-12-19 08:00:33 UTC 
Version:           0.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

I have a pdf file which is password protected. The password contains characters that are not in 7bit ascii map and are therefore not unicode compliant. 

Kpdf asks me password when I try to open the pdf but if I press for example one ä it echos it as ** so I guess this is a problem with unicode taking the place of two chars. I can't open the file with kpdf however Adobe reader opens the file very nice.

I'm using UTF-8 charset and when testing with ISO-8859-15 kpdf was able to open the file just nice.

Reassigning to kdelibs as it's a problem on KPasswordDialog, most probably on KPasswordEdit::keyPressEvent
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2006-12-27 00:09:56 UTC 
Reassigning to me again as i'm not sure this is a kdelibs bug
Comment 3 cjacker 2007-03-06 05:00:00 UTC 
I find this problem when I use spanish keymap and want input spanish password in kdm and kdesktop lockdialog.

this is the patch for it.

you can use "ñÑÑÑÑ" to test it.
