Summary: KMail provides a "bad passphrase" when deliberately
cancelling the passphrase entry in the pinentry tool
Product: kmail
Version: 1.13.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: encryption
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.0)
OS: Linux
When a user chooses to sign/encrypt an email the pinentry programme is invoked
to collect the user's passphrase. This dialog provides a "cancel" button in
case the user wants to stop the process.
If the user clicks this "cancel" button then Kmail will display a "bad
passphrase" dialog. This is semantically screwed as, to the user's view, they
deliberately did not enter their passphrase. This warning is redundant and
might actually worry the user who knows no better.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create email
- Mark it for sign and or encrypt
- Hit Send
- Hit the "cancel" button in the pinentry dialog
Actual Results:
Warning dialog saying "Signing failed: Bad passphrase".
Expected Results:
I would expect to be taken straight back to the current mail editor.
