Description Olivier Delaune 2014-02-12 18:56:22 CET
Hello, if I click on the MCC icon, a dialog pops-up to ask me the superuser password. My superuser password contains the character "ô". 
It is not take into account by the password dialog.
I mean that if I type ô, it counts as 2 characters (2 points appear), probably because it is considered as "^o"
And so my password is not recognised.
Could you fix it?

what for polkit agent are you using (as this popup depends on it/desktop) ?
Comment 2 Olivier Delaune 2014-02-12 21:58:47 CET
I do not know which polkit agent I am using.
If I type
rpm -qa | grep polkit, I get
lib64mate-polkit1_0-1.6.1-2.mga4
lib64polkit1_0-0.112-2.mga4
polkit-desktop-policy-0.112-2.mga4
lib64polkit-qt-core-1_1-0.103.0-3.mga4
polkit-kde-agent-1-0.99.0-6.mga4
polkit-0.112-2.mga4
lib64polkit-qt-agent-1_1-0.103.0-3.mga4
mate-polkit-1.6.1-2.mga4

In addition, I use KDE SC.

Bug summary indicates that Olivier uses KDE when this issue occurs. Right? If it is that' s a problem with either polkit-kde-agent or directly polkit. Since, mate-polkit has "OnlyShowIn=MATE;XFCE;LXDE;OPENBOX;Old;" array in /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop file and it shouldn't run on KDE.

Olivier, would you mind to run

ps ax | polkit

from commandline and paste results here?

Comment 4 Olivier Delaune 2014-03-15 20:01:59 CET
I guess you meant

ps ax | grep polkit

If so, I got

 1356 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug
 3069 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
10674 pts/1    D+     0:00 grep --color polkit
Comment 5 Olivier Delaune 2015-02-04 22:56:14 CET
I sought on bugs.kde.org for this bug and I did not find any bug which looks like to this issue. So I open a new one at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343794
Let us see what the KDE's devs say.

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
