gkr: Don’t update key description if it doesn’t change (1.30 KB, patch)
2017-01-26 23:56 UTC, Philip Withnall 		none Details | Review

Description Umang Jain 2017-01-26 17:23:04 UTC 
In "Login" -> Passwords -> Select any account -> "Key" tab in the dialog -> Description

While selecting a block of text (i.e. highlighted as per the selection), when I press right click for copying/cutting, the block of text gets unselected. However Ctrl+C Ctrl+V is able to do the trick.

Version
seahorse 3.20.0
GNUPG: /usr/bin/gpg2 (2.1.11)

gkr: Don’t update key description if it doesn’t change

If the user right-clicks in the ‘Description’ entry in the item
properties window, without changing the description, their text
selection will be dropped. This is because Seahorse is trying to update
the item description in the background, as a result of the entry losing
focus.

Avoid trying to update the item description if it has not changed, which
will cover most cases of the user right-clicking.
