evolution/keyring does not remember last character if it is a backslash

[Lucien]

I'm not absolutely sure that I need to report it here, but...

My password for an email account ends with a special character, in my case a \ (backslash), when evolution tries to access the server to receive new (pop) mail for the first time after boot, it shows the password pop-up with the password as masked characters, on a 12 character password it shows only 11, after adding the backslash as the 12th character and pressing OK it will retrieve my email.

evolution 2.24.0
gnome keyring 2.24.0
Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10

thank you for your bug report, could you run seahorse and see if the password stored is the correct one there?

the password stored there is the correct one.

kind regards,
Lucien

the issue is not likely a gnome-keyring

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting the code will read it?

[Lucien (lbu)]

I installed Intrepid from scratch which solved that problem.

closing the bug, you can reopen if you get the issue again though
