Package: assword
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: normal

Some tools that need a password pop up their own password-entry dialog
box.  With the kbd focus in that dialog box, I'll invoke "assword gui"
and choose a password.

Due to circumstances outside of assword's control, sometimes those
dialog boxes go away before i've selected the context from the assword
gui.

If i don't notice that the dialog went away before hitting enter,
assword appears to type the password into some arbitrary window.

instead, assword should decline to type (and possibly should show the
user an error message when it can figure out what happened).

Even better would be if "assword gui" could detect when the target
window goes away, so that it could interrupt the user even before they
select a context.
