Description Armin Jenewein 2017-08-20 22:33:57 UTC 
After locking the screen, it is possible to use the Shift-Insert keyboard combination to paste the current clipboard content into (at least) the password input field, which get shown as asterisks, hence revealing the exact length of the current clipboard contents string at least, eventually worse.
Comment 1 Luigi Toscano 2017-08-20 22:55:53 UTC 
This is most likely already fixed in newer releases.
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2017-08-21 05:54:56 UTC 
Fixed in newer release.
