I can confirm this bug in Kubuntu 12.04. This is extremely annoying. I regularly use gpg for symmetric encryption with huge (200+ bytes) autogenerated passphrases. The only practical way of entering such keys are by copy/paste.
Please fix this, as disallowing copy/paste encurages use of tiny and unsecure passwords (those that are memorable). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326132 Title: [wishlist] Pinentry does not allow to paste into it, why?!
