Description Ingo von Borstel 2020-06-03 22:32:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Keepass becomes unresponsive when trying to paste username or password into input boxes during entry creation

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
KeePass 2.44 (Dev. 200129)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start keepass.
2) open 'create new entry' dialogue
3) try to paste some text as password into the entry during creation

Actual results:
Programme becomes unresponsive / hangs

Expected results:
Accept the pasted text

Additional info:
Default gnome environment. I read https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1827641 but that seems to be about pasting FROM keepass stopping to work - which still works for me.

Comment 1 Peter Oliver 2020-06-03 22:59:47 UTC
Does it become permanently unresponsive?  For me, on Wayland, it hands for a couple of seconds but then starts working again.  I don't have any such problem on X11.

Comment 2 Ingo von Borstel 2020-06-08 10:44:37 UTC
You are right. I made a few more tests and seems I was probably a bit impatient. After some time, KeePass unfreezes again. But the text has not been pasted in that case either.

Comment 3 frog 2020-06-18 19:38:39 UTC
I can paste into keepass (it is true that it takes some time to work), but what I pasted then seems to not clear from the clipboard - because it comes up when I try in a next transaction to copy and paste for example a username, i.e. instead of that username keepass then pastes what was pasted before from outside keepass into keepass. at this point keepass freezes completely. it can be unfrozen again by putting it alone (as a single application all by itself) in a gnome workspace

I wish to refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848653 as well as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1759158 (even though this is about keepassxc and not keepass) because to me it looks like a cluster of related issues

Comment 4 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 17:03:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2021-05-25 17:42:31 UTC
Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
