GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 608104
Use clear icon inside password entry

Created attachment 152273 [details] Screenshot The password entry in the accounts window is followed by a clear button. It would be nicer to use the entry-integrated clear button, as nautilus uses for example.
Is there a GNOME consensus about this question?
I am not aware of any official GNOME goal etc related to this but as most apps that are part of the desktop make use of this now it seems like an obvious choice.
Agreed, Cannonical's usability testing demonstrated that users were confused by having the clear button as a separated button.
