Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

Don't really remember how this came to be, but I remember making a RAR archive and using the password "wolverine" without quotes. Either I did that in Ubuntu 8.10 or in Windows before I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my entire hard drive. I don't know but when ever I add a password to an archive using file-roller whether it be a ZIP or RAR or I'm opening an archive with a password with file encrypt option selected, when the password dialogue pops up, to the left of the input field where I can enter a password it says: Password:wolverine.

I don't have this archive on my computer any more, I don't even know where it is but it shouldn't say Password:wolverine when asked for a password. Cause then people will think that's the password. Either way I'm uploading an image so you can understand what I mean.

That is very odd indeed. Does this happen every time you see a password dialog? If so, could you attach your /usr/share/file-roller/glade/password.glade file to this bug report?

Thanks

It always shows the same thing when ever I make an archive with a password.

I made a desktop user named "test". Once logged into "test", I tried making a random archive. As soon as I collapsed the small arrow to reveal the password input to add to my archive, it still says the same thing. I gave it a password anyway and opened the archive. When the password dialogue popped up, it still reproduced the same message: Password:wolverine (input field here).

No need, this is a translation error with en_CA locale.
