Description

  1. copy some text so the clipboard is not empty
  2. OpenPGP applet icon -> Encrypt clipboard with public key
  3. if you have a small number of keys, the “Choose keys” window lists the expected 6 keys + 21 empty key lines
  4. if you have a large number of keys, no empty lines but the tooltip is all wrong (doesn’t match the actual raw)

History

Next step: try to reproduce on more recent feature/stretch or feature/stretch-unfrozen, and if it still happens there, try to reproduce on current Debian testing/sid.

  • Target version changed from Tails_3.0 to Tails_2.11

I can reproduce this in Tails 2.10. The empty entries appear when I hover the mouse over the other entries in the list, and I count 22 of them when it stops.

IMHO, the next step is to reproduce on Debian Jessie.

Thanks!

IMO that’s not severe enough to be worth prioritizing this much: it can certainly wait a few months to be fixed, and we (foundations team) probably have higher priority bugs to tackle. So personally I would postpone this to 2.12 or 3.0 unless nodens comes up with a quick fix.

  • Target version deleted (Tails_2.12)

(On our side it can wait until there’s a fix upstream, and I doubt nodens uses “Target version” to organize his work.)

I confirm this is still present in 3.0.

Can you, nodens, please test this on current Debian sid and report back?

So it is still here in current Sid.
The problem seems to lie in the Gtk3::SimpleList module, that apparently doesn’t behave properly wrt Gtk::TreeView.
Another part of the issue is that the tooltip is wrong when you have a large number of keys (but doesn’t add any empty lines).

I’ll see if I find a simplefix, or maybe it’s time to rewrite this part completely, using the complete Gtk::TreeView implementation (which could actually enable us to do some nicer stuff, UI-Wise).
