Description:
After upgrading qt from qt-4.5.2-7 to qt-4.5.3-2 KDE password dialogs stopped working: I can still write my password on them, but I can't accept the dialogs (not with enter nor by clicking "accept"). After googling and asking on forums/irc, found another arch x86_64 who had also upgraded to qt-4.5.3-2 recently, so decided to downgrade again to 4.5.2-7. It fixed the problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s): qt-4.5.3-2
* everything up-to-date


Steps to reproduce:
kdesu examplecommand
# In general, any KDE app that pop-ups a password dialog (kwallet, kmail, etc)

This task depends upon

Works for me on x86_64, too. (tested kdesu) You use KDE from extra, right? Did you try with a new user (clean config)?
Comment by Rubén Torrero (ungoliant) - Tuesday, 06 October 2009, 06:21 GMT-4
Just tested it: seems that clean users can use passwords dialogs without problems. Also tested with another old user (with kde config files) and he also can't accept the dialogs.
In short: New accounts have no problems, olds do.

Probably some config file that should have been updated and didnt?

Sorry, forgot to answer: yes, I use kde from extra.

Which Qt/KDE style/theme do you use?
Comment by Andreas Erhart (anaconda) - Tuesday, 06 October 2009, 07:34 GMT-4
I had the same problem with my gentoo box. It started working again when I disabled the "3 Star input option" for passwords in the system settings. This seems to be a general problem with this special option and this qt version.
You can easily test it with

kdialog --password "test"

Pierre: I use Oxygen/air (both default themes).

Andreas: I confirmed that disabling the "3 Star input option" fixes the problem. It must be a upstream problem then, wouldn't have thought it since I couldn't find anything on Google.
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Monday, 18 January 2010, 15:24 GMT-4
Is this still an issue?
Comment by Andreas Erhart (anaconda) - Tuesday, 19 January 2010, 11:00 GMT-4
for me and my gentoo box it still is :-)
qt: 4.6.0
kde: 4.3.4
