Public bug reported:
This feature (the last character of a password is shown in plaintext for
a second) is quite nice for devices where the input method is likely to
produce mistakes (aka OSK) in combination of a small screen that can
only be seen by the user (phone, tablet).
In pocket desktop however, the fact that your passwords are being shown
cleartext on a big, external screen is quite nasty. The TextField
component should not use this feature if input is coming from a physical
keyboard.
