--- Comment #11 from Jekyll Wu <adaptee at gmail.com> ---
So far I haven't managed to reproduce this issue using any distribution on my
machine (Arch,Gentoo,Fedora,Ubuntu). So I need to ask more questions :

1. Are you using openSUSE as implied in the screenshot? Have you encountered
that problem when using other distributions?

2. I notice that you are using SCIM as your input method in the screenshot.
Does the problem happen when you does not use input method at all? When I say
"don't' use input method at all" I mean killing all the processes related with
scim, instead of just switching off the input method.

3. Just to clarify something: the password in the screenshot is
highlighted/selected.  Is the password shown immediately after typing, or is it
visible only after that area is selected ?


I only find two similar reports[1][2] after searching hard using Google. So
there are 3 reports in 7 years. That implies this issue probably really exists,
but it happens rarely and no one has figured out what is needed to reproduce .
Now I have to rely on you to do some investigation and provide more
information, so that we can isolate and identify the root cause. Thanks in
advance.
