Changing the password input field width #52

Closed fn-ix closed 4 years ago

fn-ix commented 5 years ago

Hello!

It would be nice to have the ability to change the width of the password input field itself; currently, only changing the dimension of the space around it is possible. My password is quite long, but only about 5 1/2 dots are currently visible, after which the user gets no typing feedback from the screen at all.

Got this sketched out, I'll push it soon. But it seems like we can only give GTK a hint of what the width should be, it does some calculation magic which seems to shrink the width a bit. E.g., a width of 30 characters ends up fitting only 23 characters, a width of 50 about 47, etc.
