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. Initially reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/447929
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.

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