I can see that point of view. That makes it a misuse of pinentry-gtk2 instead of a bug.
Suppose you have a situation where you might legitimately want to ignore the password dialog for a while. Maybe you use a KeePass database to store passwords, or you have an OS bug where you have to use a workaround to see dialogs. At best it means you have to cancel out, at worst it renders the system unusable. I don't think these situations are unrealistic. I encountered them both myself. IMO pinentry-gtk2 should never be used in a desktop environment, because the user might actually want to ignore the dialog for a while without cancelling it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162585 Title: pinentry-gtk2 receives keystrokes even without focus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
