Public bug reported: Gnome's automatic encrypted file editing password thingy is getting in the way of editing encrypted files with vim. When I type "vi secrets.gpg", a passphrase dialog appears, requiring me to enter the passphrase with which the file was encrypted. The new window makes it impossible to give focus to another window or switch to another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1). Killing or canceling out of the window makes vi unable to edit the file. Most importantly, the dialog box appears even when you use the --passphrase option, which makes it impossible to use vi in a script. I did not install this software, so I have no way of knowing which package to address the bug to, or which package to remove in order to avoid this "feature".
