From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: If your're slow (and unlucky) the password dialog can timeout in the middle of typing a password. Timer should be reset if the user is typing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xscreensaver-base-4.21-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. lock screen 2. type password slowly 3. Actual Results: If the timeout reaches zero before you finish typing your password, the dialog will go away. Then you must type the password again from beginning. Expected Results: xscreensaver should let me type my password to the end. Additional info:
I think this bug is already fixed in the version 4.22. In the version 4.22, driver/lock.c is changed so that each time a key is pressed 10 percent of the whole time allowed to type a password is added to the remaining time (pw->ratio) . I saw that this bug remains in the rpm version 4.21-4, but doesn't seem to remain in the version 4.22-16.
Hi Mamoru, Great, thanks.
