[Bug 1537810] Re: When entering a password with the keyboard on an external screen, the letters are shown in plaintext

 

The text is shown clear because the timeout comes from QPA. So this is
more like a QPA than a toolkit bug.

** Also affects: qtubuntu (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  When entering a password with the keyboard on an external screen, the

Bug description:
  This feature (the last character of a password is shown in plaintext
  for a second) is quite nice for devices where the input method is
  likely to produce mistakes (aka OSK) in combination of a small screen
  that can only be seen by the user (phone, tablet).

  In pocket desktop however, the fact that your passwords are being
  shown cleartext on a big, external screen is quite nasty. The
  TextField component should not use this feature if input is coming
  from a physical keyboard.
