Partially defeats the purpose of hiding the password.

Typing anything that requires password can expose a few letters of your password if you're a fast typer, as the attachment shows.
This partially defeats the purpose of hiding the password.

This has nothing to do with konsole. You type the letters before sudo runs and sets the tty mode to no echo, so konsole echoes the characters as it should.
