Bug Description
To reproduce this bug you should have 2 or more users:
- open "Users and Groups" from kde control center
- type administrator password
- open a user and change ONLY its password
- click ok
- open another user
- as you can see there is the SAME password length typed for previous user
- IF you press ONLY "ok" you have changed the password also for the second user, but typing it only once.
This bug can confuse people that change a password and immediately open another user to change another option, if you click ok in the second user then you have changed password also for him without knowing.
Next login you have two (or more it depends how many users you have opened and then clicked ok) with the same password.
Confirmed in dapper with kde 3.5.2
