patch to suppress word completion for SPI_ROLE_PASSWORD_TEXT fields. Doesn't suppress text-manip or repeat-next tho. (3.47 KB, patch)

Description bill.haneman 2003-09-19 15:19:30 UTC 
if the currently focussed text entry field has ROLE_PASSWORD, gok shouldn't
do word completion (since that would be a security violation).  Similarly,
text manipulation of password fields probably makes little or no sense.

See the related --login mode bug 122641

David: do you think this patch is sufficient, or should we suppress
repeat and text-manipulation too?
(I think that if one does copy/paste from at-spi's PASSWORD fields,
one gets substitution/placeholder chars so I don't think that 'copy',
for instance, will result in a security violation)

David, OK to apply this patch?
Comment 7 David Bolter 2003-10-01 18:47:03 UTC 
Bill, I think this bug is closable. I'm not strongly opinionated on
the text manip. and repeat question.  Sorry for the delay in
responding to this bug directly (though I think I responded in email).
