By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Calvin Morrison 2011-12-01 13:19:22 CST

kdesktop_lock's password entry box does not function like other boxes. For example if you select all (CTRL-A) and attempt to clear the box with a backspace, only a single letter is remove. Normally they would all be removed. This also occurs with the same method using the CTRL-A + Delete.

Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2011-12-19 13:37:17 CST

This behaviour *might* be by design--KDM does not allow a full delete in the password box, and IIRC Windows behaves the same way.

I admit I am not certain why this external behaviour would be desired (aside from working around internal Xorg issues); comments are welcome!

FYI the reason kdesktop_lock behaves this way is that most (all?) of the Xorg modifier keys are disabled, ostensibly to reduce the number of possible security holes that could exist.

Comment 2 Calvin Morrison 2011-12-19 14:33:06 CST

Okay,

So I think we should close it and mark as wontfix.
