[Bug 515608] Re: pinentry-gtk2 sends the hitherto entered characters when Thunderbird stalls

[gf]

Hello Matthaus,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2010 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? 
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 515608

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for
this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G

Title:
  pinentry-gtk2 sends the hitherto entered characters when Thunderbird
  stalls

Status in pinentry package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 9.10 and pinentry-gtk2 0.7.6 it happens sometimes (in 1 of at most 10 cases) that Thunderbird suddenly stalls (greys out) and a window pops up, asking me if I want to kill the thunderbird process or cancel. I then need to click cancel and return to the pinentry dialogue.
  But instead of being able to continue with typing in my passphrase it has already sent the hitherto typed part of the passphrase which of course is wrong. Because of this, pinentry tells me that my passphrase was wrong and I have to retype it.

  It is OK that pinentry-gtk2 clears the input box in this case as it is
  quite cumbersome to continue with the passphrase (which one is the
  last character) but it shouldn't send the partial passphrase.
