SUMMARY After copy/paste a sudo command into the console I can not type the password into the console window. It does not take any key inputs (the window is active). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. opened it 2. pasted a sudo command 3. tried to type the pw without any effect OBSERVED RESULT no key input is arriving in the console after pasting a command EXPECTED RESULT key input should work SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux (x86_64) release 5.6.15-1-MANJARO (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is normal, when entering a password at the CLI no characters appear; so you type the password then hit Enter.
I can't reproduce this on KDE Neon Dev Edition. What command specifically are you copying. Any multi-line item will also fail as it will paste the second line as the sudo password if sudo hasn't been used recently in that terminal.
