As opposed to this bug's original issue, please take note of the following:
In its current form, the password dialog wouldn't let the user paste anything into the passphrase field. This is (or at least, could be) of a certain importance, when thinking of a complex passphrase being copied from an application storing passwords so as to eliminate the need to remember the passphrase. In fact, this is what I (and possibly others) am doing when, for example, signing an e-mail: I am using a panel applet for Revelation (password safe) which holds my PGP passphrase. Until (including) Gutsy, when the passphrase was prompted in the password dialog (of Gnome's keyring manager, that was), I copied the passphrase from the panel applet and pasted it into the password dialog, as the passphrase is rather complex and consists of a series of digits and letters I can't remember. This is now impossible as according to my description above the password dialog won't let me paste anything, even if I copy the passphrase to the clipboard beforehand. -- [hardy] seahorse password dialog not always modal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
