Password text field is permanently greyed out.

SUMMARY

After typing the wrong password in the GUI-Prompt, password field stays greyed out after entering the wrong password with an user account created with systemd-homed.
The option is to close the prompt and redo the action that triggered the kdesu prompt. Sorry if this report is in the wrong category, please change it if needed!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do something that triggers the kdesu prompt, for example edit with kate a system file like /etc/environment.
2. Type in the wrong password
3. Type enter or click the okay button

OBSERVED RESULT

The password text field greys out and says "Sorry, try again". With the greyed out prompt the password cannot be reentered. The prompt needs to be closed and triggered again.

EXPECTED RESULT

The password text field gets accessible again and the password can be reentered.
