[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#854875: network-manager: password input area looks blank for several seconds

[Soramichi AKIYAMA]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

network-manager with MATE desktop does not show the password for a wifi network for several seconds when "Show password" is enabled.
The input area looks just blank (although some characters are there) at first, and after some time it shows the password correctly.

Please refer this image of the phenomenon:

In the image some characters are there (the input cursor was not on the head), but they are not shown due to this bug.

This happens both in C and JP locales.
