Comment 1 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2022-03-22 21:22:29 UTC
Thanks for your report.

As you noticed, it seems to be GTK4 related. I reported the bug upstream: https://github.com/enaess/network-manager-sstp/issues/44 . While it is very inconvenient, luckily, as a workaround, it is still possible to create/edit a VPN connection using a UI available through nm-connection-editor.

According the long name, I assume it just wasn't changed during the forking process from PPTP. I created https://github.com/enaess/network-manager-sstp/pull/43 .

Eivind (the network-manager-sstp author) pointed me https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-sstp/-/issues/43, which seems to be created by you at the same time :-/. @Tamado, you could mention it have to save me the time trying to reproduce a problem and report it upstream...

So sorry. I forgot to link back to the bugzilla link on the upstream link. Thank you for responding to the bug and providing the workaround though. Have a nice day!
