Package: xscreensaver
Version: 6.02+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal
If I know I mistyped the password, I am used to holding down
backspace to erase all characters, effectively making use of the key
repeat. This stopped working with version 6, and now holding down
the key only ever removes a single character.

However you can use the traditional keystrokes ^U and ^X to clear
the whole line.
Sounds like I (and probably others) will have to unlearn some muscle
memory in the next coming weeks.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
