           Summary: showing cursor default in password field (usability)
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: fish
        AssignedTo: trouble@garni.ch
        ReportedBy: s.devrieze@pandora.be


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When the password dialog is showed, the cursor isn't visible. This isn't good for usability because \
people will not know that the password field is selected. It's also inconsistent with other password \
dialogs in KDE (e.g.: kdesu). I think some people will try to click on this field and hope the cursor \
appears there...but they will panic because the cursor don't appear (no feedback). See also \
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/usage.html (feedback-rich) for more \
information.

My proposal:
Show the cursor default in the password field.
