I’m not sure why this report is still open for System Settings, since it has a merged branch there and r349 shows no Cut/Copy in password fields. But just in case … The original report and (apparently) the toolkit branch disables “Select All”, which is incorrect. There is no reason to disable “Select All” for a password field — you can select the field contents manually anyway — and GTK, Android, and iOS all allow it.
(Purely coincidentally, halfway through writing this comment I had to lock the screen, and returned to find that a stuck key had typed thousands of characters into the password field. Because the field did not let me Select All for deletion, I had to restart the PC.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438976 Title: Lock Security - Passcode and Passphrase input field: selectall/cut/copy entry should not be available Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit source package in Vivid: New Bug description: r155, vivid-proposed channel Steps: 1) Enter "Security & Privacy -> Phone locking -> Lock security" 2) Select "4-digit passcode" or "Passphrase" 3) In the "Choose/Confirm passcode/passfhrase" fileds, input several charactors, and hold down on field Result: selectall/cut/copy are seen Expected: These edit operations should not be available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1438976/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
