[Bug 924732] Re: sudo not hide password when typing

[rumpelstilzchen]

I noticed something like this as well, though I am not sure it is the same bug.
When I use sudo to run a command and enter one  or more newline characters before typing in my password the characters are shown. This happens both in lxterminal and on a tty. To reproduce this behavior run sudo -k with any command. A few seconds later, the command proceeds normally. If I manage to type in my password before sudo proceeds, it is evaluated as correct.

Title:
  sudo not hide password when typing

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I just run a script from my desktop for updating the system and sudo show my password while I was typing. This happened 2 times.
  I have take and a printscreen, you can see that at the attachment.

  P.S. There is nothing to do about ssh (relative bug).
