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.
