Package: ssh-askpass
Version: 1:1.2.4.1-9
Followup-For: Bug #612026

Hi,

I have the same problem: my passphrase includes multi-byte characters in
a UTF-8 encoding and I can’t enter some of these using
/usr/lib/ssh/x11-ssh-askpass.

Strangely, some characters seem to be OK (e.g. “é”), some other are not
taken into account (e.g. the apostrophe “’”: no led turns to green when
it is entered and it does not appear in the output), and dead keys get
back to life (e.g. dead “^” does light a led and appears separately in
the output). 

How to reproduce:
  - run: /usr/lib/ssh/x11-ssh-askpass
  - type: L’être et le néant.
  - the output is: L^etre et le néant.
This is not keymap dependent (tested using us-intl, fr, fr-oss and
fr-latin9) and not related with modifier keys (character “œ” is the main
character of a key in fr-oss and it is ignored as well).

A workaround is to install ssh-askpass-gnome and use
/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass instead.

Bye,
iouri.
