Description Nate Graham 2021-08-03 22:05:54 UTC 
Fedora 34 with Maliit virtual keyboard in a built-from-source Plasma Wayland session


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen
2. Tap the Virtual Keyboard button
3. Start typing


OBSERVED RESULT
It types plain text characters into the text field!

If I click the text field and type with my keyboard, it returns to obfuscated input. Thereafter, it remains in obfuscated input mode if I enter text with the virtual keyboard. Seems like something about being activated by the virtual keyboard did not cause the text field to enter obfuscated text mode.

Hmm, the text field has all of these set on it:

            echoMode: TextInput.Password
            inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhHiddenText | Qt.ImhSensitiveData | Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase | Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText

Those should be sufficient from the theme side. Moving to plasma-framework, where the text field loves. Possibly even a Qt bug...
