Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 698246
Calendar password dialog box has insane default
Last modified: 2014-01-02 05:58:55 EST
When the calendar component needs to ask for a password it does so by showing the "rememebr your password" checkbox always checked. This default is backwards, as if I do not want to save it it means I have to remember to click on the checkbox every single time. Tracked ans solved upstream in bug: 502188
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
I just placed an updated patch to the upstream bug [1]. The initial patch was for publish-calendar only. The new patch is for calendar authentication routines and it stores user's choice (if password entered), end uses it the next time. The actual code reads uninitialized 'remember' variable, so there is a little chance that it can be FALSE one day. [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502188
Created attachment 493551 [details] evo patch for evolution; I'm building a test package with this included at http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=3272324
Just tested and it works, password dialog came up w/o the obnoxious check box ticket by default.
