Bug ID: 416478
Summary: SDDM theme: the password box is tiny
Product: Breeze
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: filipfila....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Forwarding this bug report: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1177
I could never reproduce it IRL, but these are the steps to reproduce it in a
testing environment.
1. git clone the plasma-workspace repo
2. sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme plasma-workspace/sddm-theme
The password box is tiny. Why? Well because we overhauled the font sizes and
now rely on the font size to be specified in 'theme.conf'. The password box is
resized based on the font size. Obviously the non-installed repo SDDM theme
doesn't have theme.conf generated yet but it proves what causes this:
When the theme cannot access the 'theme.conf font' size value, it will probably
use 1pt as the font size, thus the small password box. We can easily test this
by editing Login.qml and changing the password box's font size to something
sane. The password box is back to its normal size.
But this bug shouldn't be happening. The Breeze SDDM theme should create a
theme.conf file with the entry "fontSize=10" specified. Why doesn't it do that
in some cases, I'm not sure. Packaging issue maybe?
