--- Comment #7 from Ivan Čukić <ivan.cu...@kde.org> ---
It will hide *and* clear the field. This is to follow the new screen locker
policy (or did I dream it Nate?).

Password reveal button is useful, though it kills the point of having a long
passphrase :)

The main issue I have with it (apart from the over-the-shoulder ones like this
bug was) is that in order to have the reveal button, the string needs to sit in
memory unencrypted. If password fields were simpler (no reveal, no left-right
arrow keys, no random character deletion/change), each char could be encrypted
as soon as it is entered without decrypting the old ones.
