This was removed intentionally for various security-related reasons, sorry. On the login screen, it was for technical reasons not possible to ensure the kind of security we could with the lock screen. I didn't get about the lock screen part, sorry. Why the icon appears when locking? I'm curious, hehe I don't think that's the reason. Reading https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429622 and https://phabricator.kde.org/D26675, it seems the reason it was removed was some SDDM bug which would prevent the show password button from showing up. >it seems the reason it was removed was some SDDM bug which would prevent the show password button from showing up.
Not exactly SDDM bug per-se, but yes. We use plasma components, that gets the icon from current icon path. As we're not logged in, no icon pack is explicitly set, therefore you get a transparent square that shows the icon depending on setup.
Also because we're outside the session we can't follow the relevant kiosk key to make this optional.
Couldn't be the reveal icon be bundled into the Breeze theme like the ones in /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/components/artwork/? Shouldn't the "RESOLVED INTENTIONAL" status be changed? Also, there is another confirmed bug which asks for re-adding this icon: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429622 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 429622 *** |
