Created attachment 570253 [details] Password being displayed on terminal Description of problem: With English-typing-booster enabled on gnome-terminal, while using su- command, password appears in the text. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): english-typing-booster-0.0.2-1.fc17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable English-typing-booster 2. Go to terminal 3. Try to become root with su- 4. Type your password Actual results: Perform above steps, you can see the password is shown on the screen. Expected results: Password must not be shown. Additional info:
english-typing-booster should probably check the flags of the tty. For example: 1) write something on the terminal $ echo hello world 2) disable echo'ing $ stty -echo 3) write something again $ echo hello world 4) enable echo'ing $ stty echo 5) write something again $ echo hello world My terminal shows (including input): [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world hello world [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ stty -echo [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ hello world [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world hello world [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ I am not sure if gnome-terminal offers a way to check the flags in a terminal, but you will probably want to have this functionality for any terminal emulator.
Same in Fedora 19. I just created a new user, and this 'feature' is on by default. It shows the passwords in cleartext while typing not only in termnal windows, but also in the gnome screen lock, the pop-up that asks for admin password, etc. A major security problem. I think severity should at least 'high' for this one!
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
That is not really specific to ibus-typing-booster. The preëdit of *any* input method is visible when typing passwords in terminals after something like “su -”.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

That is because there is no way for an input method to find out whether the terminal is excpecting a password. The terminal does not set any hints the input method could use and the input method has no way to get the text which is currently displayed in the terminal because terminals don’t support surrounding text. I.e. there is no way to fix this in an ibus-input-method.
