Description Vivek 2009-08-21 02:19:16 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

On the KDM login window (KDE 4.3, light blue), there are two boxes to type the username and the password.  In the password box, typing more than six or so characters makes the text scroll, but this happens without even reaching the end of the box.  Basically, the graphic area that represents the box is bigger than the area for typing itself.  Ideally, the password circle characters would reach the end of the box before the text starts scrolling.

This is more of an annoyance than a bug.  It can be a bit disorienting (the box looks large enough for 8 characters), but doesn't cause any functional problems.

I'll try to attach a screenshot if I can switch user without crashing (which is a non-KDE bug).

Thanks.

make the geometry suck less

force the gui style and use properly framed line edits instead
of overlaying images with line edits.
