Description Daniel Hahler 2010-01-28 23:14:45 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When you chose to "Show three bullets for each letter", a password dialog window (e.g. from kwallet) will not close after you enter the password and press Enter: it'll stay open and you have to minimize this window or click "Cancel" to "submit" the dialog.

Using "Show one bullet for each letter" or "Show nothing" works around this.

Comment 1 Daniel Hahler 2010-01-28 23:16:47 UTC

TEST CASE:
0. Select "Show three bullets for each letter" in "System Settings" => "Password & User Account" => "At Password Prompt"
1. Open http://trac.edgewall.org/login in Konqueror.
2. A authorization dialog should come up.
3. Enter anything and click OK.
4. Nothing happens, the window stays open. Only when clicking the "minimize" button, it gets submitted.

SVN commit 1083166 by cfeck:

Fix paint recursion in "three bullet" password mode

There are other issues related to "three bullet" mode, such as
not being able to move cursor or select text. But simple typing
and backspace should work without 100% CPU and hangs.

Please test if this commit fixes this bug, it will be available
with the KDE SC 4.4.0 release.

Comment 6 Daniel Hahler 2010-02-15 19:53:19 UTC

Yes, it's fixed for the KWalletManager dialog.

But, for whatever reason Konqueror does not pickup the changed setting in "About Me" => "Password & User Account" => "At Password Prompt" anymore - only displaying one bullet per character.
(I've done "killall konqueror".)

Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2010-02-19 01:51:37 UTC

You need to kill kwalletd probably, too (or restart the entire KDE session).

Comment 8 Daniel Hahler 2010-02-20 21:12:44 UTC

I've just tried again (having rebooted in the meantime) and it works properly in Konqueror now, too.
Therefore closing as FIXED. Thanks a lot!

(However, I was quite sure to had killed all kwallet related processes.)
