Distribution/Version: FC3

I'm working on bug #143862 for Epiphany.

Selecting a ftp remote file, the chooser display an uri like:

ftp://<login>:<password>@<domain>

I think that the password field souldn't be displayed: think to somebody looking
over your shoulder !

Moving to libgnomeui since the VFS backend takes care of this.
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-06-17 22:51:11 UTC 
See gtkfilesystemgnomevfs.c:info_from_vfs_info(), and in particular where it
fills in the DISPLAY_NAME.  I think that's the spot where we need to strip off
the password.

How does this work with the new gio/gvfs based file chooser? There is no file chooser backend in libgnomeui any more.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2009-05-03 19:47:54 UTC 
Closing it here since there's no code to fix wrt file chooser in libgnomeui any more. If you still have problems with the file chooser please file new bugs against the relevant products.
