Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-keyring
This bug is not a bug about gnome-ssh-askpass simply failing to popup. If another gnome app already has the locks that gnome-ssh-askpass is attempting to obtain, gnome-ssh-askpass will fail. And often as a bunk side effect it will destroy the IO of what ever other app previously had the locks. This is easy to see in any gnome application that utilizes full-screen for example gnome-terminal. Steps to reproduce with a locked key: * open gnome-terminal * fullscreen it (f11) * ssh to something Type and you will see some characters (mainly whitespace) pass through to gnome-terminal. gnome-ssh-askpass will never obtain focus over the gnome-terminal which is already running full-screen. It will however eat pty's IO. *****You can not exit, without killing it from a non-x TTY.***** ** Affects: gnome-keyring (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- HARDY: gnome-ssh-askpass does *not* grab keyboard or focus if contested with other apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
