Source: pinentry-gtk2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when the pinentry window is in foreground, it is not possible to paste into the input field from the clipboard, neither by pressing Ctrl-V nor by pressing the middle mouse button. For me, this is a major drawback, because I frequently use password managers which let me copy my password to the clipboard so I can paste it into the respective password input field. Also, when I need to set a password, I usually let the password manager generate a random password for me, which is then copied to the clipboard without ever being shown to me (or a random stranger behind me) at all. So in this scenario I cannot even type the password by hand, because I simply don't know it ;-) pinentry-gtk2 and pinentry-qt are until now the first programs I encountered that (actively?) prevent pasting (pinentry-curses is fine). It would be nice if this would be possible in the future.
