Hi,

The description of the bug says " With English-typing-booster enabled on gnome-terminal, while using su- command, password appears in the text".
English typing booster is IBUS-IME for english language.

Any thoughts or comments regrading solution will be appreciated.

I've left the note below on the BZ.

Hope it helps,
Niels


english-typing-booster should probably check the flags of the tty.

For example:

1) write something on the terminal
$ echo hello world

2) disable echo'ing
$ stty -echo

3) write something again
$ echo hello world

4) enable echo'ing
$ stty echo

5) write something again
$ echo hello world

My terminal shows (including input):
[ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world
hello world
[ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ stty -echo
[ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ hello world
[ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ [ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$ echo hello world
hello world
[ndevos@ndevos-laptop ~]$

I am not sure if gnome-terminal offers a way to check the flags in a terminal, but you will probably want to have this functionality for any terminal emulator.
