Bug#638311: "zenity --entry" not allowing proper input

Package: zenity
Version: 3.0.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

In the last update that zenity had for Debian Testing, it caused a
problem with zenity. Now when I use the command "zenity --entry" to
enter in a password for a script that I wrote, it does not allow me to
type properly. I have to press a key many times for it to even register
it as one keystroke. Even to delete what I have written I have to hold
down the key for it to work. This makes typing in a password impossible
and renders my scripts useless. I would appreciate it if this could be fixed.
