Hi,

I just wanted to add that this behaviour is bugging me a lot as well.
Using KeePassX for cross platform password db support with long random
pass phrases for gpg keys is out of the question when you have to
manually "copy and paste".

Even more so if you happen to use a lot of special chars and "dead keys"
(accents) where you actually have to type an extra blank to make sure
you don't get the wrong letter. Not to mention font problems when using
chars like O vs. 0 or 1, l (small "L") and I (capital "i").

I also do not understand, why keeping a pass phrase in memory
indefinitely, as suggested by upstream, is considered more secure as
storing it temporarily (default: 20 sec) in clipboard memory.

For what it's worth, I will try and bring this to the "seahorse"
maintainers attention.

I understand that this "bug" will not be reopened, just wanted to add my
opinion.

Cheers

Jens
