Description MR ZenWiz 2014-08-27 08:11:49 CEST
I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 with xfce4-terminal version 0.6.3 (not in the options box here) on a Phenom II x6 CPU.

Whenever I invoke LibreOffice Writer from the terminal to open an encrypted .odt file, the cursor (almost) always drops the focus from the encrypted password window back to the terminal that invoked it.  This is a huge security breach because if I type the password before I realize this has happened, it shows up on the terminal and potentially in my command history.

See https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-3x0QT9-7fIWExSUGp3S1ZzZE0/edit?usp=sharing for example.

This has not happened yet if I open Writer first and then open the file from there.  Then this happens: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-3x0QT9-7fIUHdGYUJkOWQ3ZUE/edit?usp=sharing

Please fix or advise.

This never happened with Xubuntu 12.04, and it does not happen on my work desktop, which is running a dual quad-Xeon (and the same OS).

I have also filed a bug with LO, just in case.
