Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
gksu: 2.0.2-9ubuntu1
If you run:
$ gksu echo foo
the focus is still on the terminal, and if a user types their password
quickly it will be displayed in clear text in the terminal in the
background.
Moreover, clicking with the mouse on the password field doesn't focus
it. A workaround to that is to manually do an <alt>+<tab>.
** Affects: gksu (Ubuntu)
