Description Adam Porter 2011-01-05 01:47:59 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

This may apply to more than KPackageKit, but that's where I encounter it.

When KPackageKit prompts for my password, it pops up a box with a "Select User" dropdown list, and it doesn't select the current user.  I have to choose it myself before I can type my password.  This is a regression from KDE 3.5 days.

Reproducible: Always

This is odd. I never experienced this in Kubuntu 13.04 to 14.04, but now I am, after moving to Arch. Are you still seeing this, Adam?

Also, I can't seem to vote for this, so…

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
