Package: keepass2
Version: 2.36+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since one or two weeks (i.e since about mid-august 2017), I cannot enter
any characters with Alt-Gr modifier in keepass2 text fields just after
login.
If I try to type such a character for example in the master password
textfield to unlock the master database, no '*' appear. The '*'
character does appear for all other characters (i.e. characters that
do not require the Alt-Gr modifier). This happens in gnome-shell with
a French setting and two keyboards configured: fr1 (named "Français
(variante)")
and fr2 (named "Français, Bépo, ergonomique, façon Dvorak)", where fr1
is the default setting selected at login.
When this happens (i.e. always just after login), I can workaround
by following the steps below:
1) close the keepass2 application that failed
2) in the desktop top gnome-shell bar, select
the other keyboard (i.e fr2, Bépo)
3) in the desktop top gnome-shell bar, select
back the first keyboard (i.e fr1, Français variante)
4) launch again Keepass2
With this procedure, which changes the keybord once and changes
it back immediately, the Alt-Gr characters can be typed into Keepass2
testfield.
When this started to happen, I checked for both Keepass2 and Mono
changes, but saw really nothing. I guess this is due to a change in a
deeper library. However, this wrong behaviour appears *only* with
Keepass2. For all other applications I checked, Alt-Gr characters
can be typed right after login without any problems.
