    Description

      On a QLineEdit, if you .setEchoMode (QLineEdit.EchoMode.Password), unfortunately the widget <sarcasm>helpfully</sarcasm> lowercases all the entered text.

      MANY PASSWORDS ARE NOT LOWER BUT MIXED CASE! This is for a token generated by github, so I can't request they use all lower case.

      I also tried .setInputMethodHints (Qt.InputMethodHint.ImhNone) after the setEchoMode, and it appears to have no effect -any uppercase letters get lower-cased.

      Any idea for a temporary workaround/codefix??
