Summary: Kontact on Mac OS locks out input in VMWare
Product: kontact
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: katrina niolet name
Version: (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler: xcode 3
OS: OS X
The password input dialog is locking the secure input method on Mac OS X and
not releasing it, which disables input in VMWare Fusion. Documentation about
this feature can be found at:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2150.html
This can be reproduced by turning off 'Store IMAP Password' for an account,
then checking mail and entering your password and pressing return. Then try
typing into VMWare Fusion.
Kontact locking the secure input can also be verified by running: ioreg -l -w 0
| grep SecureInput
Even if kontact is killed, it seems to still keep this lock in place with a
reboot appearing to be the only way to unlock it. This has been verified on at
least 3 computers running OS X 10.5.
This is likely related to the calls to qt_mac_secure_keyboard(bool) (which is
defined in qapplication_mac.cpp) in QLineEdit::setEchoMode(),
QLineEdit::focusInEvent(), and QLineEdit::focusOutEvent().
