** Description changed: - When starting, for example, Synaptic Package Manager, the password - dialog that is presented only allows one attempt. If the wrong password - is entered, the dialog simply disappears, and nothing else happens. This - is confusing, and also annoying, since I then have to go through the - menus again to selecte Synaptic a second time. + IMPACT: Users that mistype their password in gksu do not get any + feedback, the application is never started. - LAST TESTED: gksu 2.0.2-2ubuntu2 (10.04 LTS) + FIX: The parsing in libgksu has been changed to only ignore a line with + a single newline and will respect non empty lines as valid answer. + + REPRODUCE: Start a new terminal, run 'gksu ls /' and mistype the user + password. + + DISCUSSION: Regression potential is low, as the patch still discards + lines with merely a newline. + + ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: + When starting, for example, Synaptic Package Manager, the password dialog that is presented only allows one attempt. If the wrong password is entered, the dialog simply disappears, and nothing else happens. This is confusing, and also annoying, since I then have to go through the menus again to selecte Synaptic a second time.
