            Bug ID: 352268
           Summary: Cyrillic KDE wallet password cannot be entered using
                    Bulgarian keyboard
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kded
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: greenrd at greenrd.org

When we try to enter a Cyrillic password into the KDED dialog that asks for the
KDE wallet password, each keypress causes two dots to appear instead of one,
and the password is not accepted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in
2. Wait for KWallet password dialog to appear
3. Ensure that keyboard switcher widget on panel is showing "bg" for Bulgarian
keyboard
4. Type in password

Actual Results:  
After each keypress, two dots appear. Password is not accepted.

Expected Results:  
After each keypress, one dot should appear. Password should be accepted.

Workaround: Type the password into another window, then cut and paste it into
the password dialog. This workaround is obviously not secure, so the bug needs
to be fixed!

The two dots problem does not occur when the keyboard switcher widget is
indicating "gb" for UK keyboard. However this is not useful, because then the
keys produce letters in the Roman alphabet (i.e. ASCII letters) instead of
Cyrillic letters.
