[Bug 205059] New: Feature Request: "Caps lock is enabled" warning in password setting of users/root
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205059 Summary: Feature Request: "Caps lock is enabled" warning in password setting of users/root Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tm.mst@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com By installing alpha4 I entered the passwords for root and the user, but i didn't recognize that I accidently activated the caps lock key. Therefore I couldn't log in untill I realized this. Therefore it would be helpful to have a message while entering the passwords in yast, if caps lock is on. E.g. if one locks the screen in KDE, the login screen will prompt that you write only capital letters. Kind regards, Tom PS: alpha4 is really good! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If all else fails, we can add an UI built-in (or extend the "GetDisplayInfo()" map) that returns that information. In Qt, that should be pretty simple. For NCurses I don't know, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205059 ------- Comment #8 from sh@novell.com 2006-09-26 10:06 MST ------- Intermediate update: Qt does not seem to propagate the status of the CapsLock button. It's there in the low-level event (use "xev" and watch the "status" flags change as CapsLock is active and inactive), but Qt does not seem to include it in its QKeyEvent::status() flags. Will continue to investigate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205059 sh@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED ------- Comment #9 from sh@novell.com 2006-09-29 09:59 MST ------- It was a bit tricker than I had thought: I had to use some really low-level Qt functions to get access to low-level X11 events to catch this. Now it works completely transparantly (in the Qt UI): If you enter a password field when CapsLock is enabled or if you hit CapsLock in a password field, the label (the caption) of that password field is automatically replaced with "CapsLock!" (intentionally very short so it fits into the remaining space in real-life dialogs). When you turn CapsLock off again or when you leave the password field, the normal label of the password field is restored. Jiri: Nothing left to do for you. It works automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

To be sure it won't break a dialg layout, the info could be provided by some UI poll function and ycp code would decide itself where to place it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
