one-character password text field

[piramiday]

I have encountered this issue many times, yet I don't understand how to reproduce it.
I searched for similarly-named issues without finding any.

sometimes I cannot type anything more than a single character in the text field. e.g.:

has anyone else experienced this?

Expected Behavior

every time KeePassXC is opened, and the database is locked, the password text box should be accepting input in order to unlock the database.

Current Behavior

sometimes when KeePassXC is opened, and the database is locked, the password text box accepts only a single character and therefore prevents me from typing the full password to unlock the database.

Possible Solution

whenever that happens, I close the program and re-execute it: upon doing this, the password text box goes back to normal.

Steps to Reproduce

not clear at the moment, sorry.

Context

although it's not deal-breaking, this issue does bring down the usability of KeepassXC a bit.

Never seen this ever. Does it still happen if you have the password visible while typing?

[piramiday]

just tried. yes! the same happens with visible characters, too. well, character, singular:

FYI, I have just observed this again with 2.6.0 ...

[droidmonkey]

Its on your end, there is nothing we are doing that could possibly cause this. If anything its a qt problem.

[piramiday]

I haven't done anything that could cause this, either.
I reported this because maybe other users experienced it, too, enough to deserve some scrutiny.
if they haven't, and it doesn't, then I'll close this issue and live with it.

Haven't seen this from anyone else. It certainly is an anomaly.
