st-entry: Disable middle-click-paste when entry is not editable (1.29 KB, patch)
2016-02-23 04:04 UTC, Michael Catanzaro 		committed Details | Review

Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-02-23 02:58:47 UTC 
A contender for the least-serious bug of the year award:

 * Lock the screen
 * Type some text into the password field
 * Right click -> Show Text
 * Right click again -> Copy
 * Click Unlock

Now, if you didn't type your password, the password entry will be non-editable for about three seconds. During that time, if you middle click on it, you can paste into the non-editable entry.

You should only be able to paste into editable entries.

st-entry: Disable middle-click-paste when entry is not editable

Should only allow pasting the primary selection when the entry is
editable.
