Bug ID: 380501
Summary: Dead keys are ignored in password input box
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Since I updated to plasma 5.10.0 yesterday, the dead keys stopped working when
I use them in the password field of kscreenlocker. For instance, when typing
the dead key "^" followed by a "o", I'm getting a "o" inputted instead of "รด",
as if the dead key was not used.
The dead keys still work in other KDE applications like kate or konsole. They
also work in the desktop search/execute input box. Since I'm using a console
login, I don't know if the logging screen is also affected by this problem.
I'm using a french layout (fr oss).
My password containing accented characters, I use the dead keys to input them.
Fortunately for me, I can input the ones I need in another way with the layout
I use.
However, someone using accented characters in their password may not be able to
unlock their screen if their layout does not provide other ways to input them
than using dead keys.
