Bug 825350 – app-editors/vim-8.2.3428-r1 puts junk into pinentry Passphrase window with vim-gnupg-2.7.1 plugin

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

The October 30 update to vim-8.2.3428-r1, which I use with vim-gnupg-2.7.1 from [url]https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3645[/url] rather than the app-vim/gnupg that is in the tree, causes the pinentry popup to come up with Passphrase window to be populated with junk entries. If I back space out junk entries, the password will be accepted.

Trial and error shows that masking app-editors/vim-8.2.3428-r1 in /etc/portage/package.mask results in downgrade to app-editors/vim-8.2.0814-r100 which works normally with the vim-gnupg plugin and pinentry wihtout the junk artifacts as it did before.

emerge --info app-editors/vim attached.

Thanks for the report. I think we might need to report this upstream (to vim-gnupg?). Interestingly I didn't see anything there yet and I know somebody was using vim-gnupg with the latest version fine..

Is 8.2.3582 any better?

[Comment 3 Andy Figueroa 2021-11-21 05:25:02 UTC]

I upgraded to vim and vim-core 8.2.3582 and the junk in the pinentry Passphrase window returns. Downgrade again to vim-8.2.0814-r100 and vim-core-8.2.0814 fixes the problem.

Other uses of gnupg and pinentry with vim-gnupg-2.7.1 do not result in junk in the pinentry Passphrase window. That was how I narrowed down the issue to vim. But, I did not try to revert to earlier versions vim-gnupg or pinentry. I'm using pinentry-1.2.0 and the upgrade to pinentry-1.2.0 on October 17 was apparently uneventful.

Thanks, I'm currently trying to dig through vim commits. Unfortunately, there's a _lot_...

If you feel bored, bisecting would be useful, but you're not obligated to do that. I'm not really a vim user so I'm just looking through commits + bugs between those versions to see what changed, but we were a bit behind, so there's a lot sadly.

I think reporting it to vim upstream itself (https://github.com/vim/vim/issues) is probably the better option actually.

I should not have written "vim-gnupg-2.7.1" above. That part wasn't relevant. The objective was to indicate that only use with vim results in the artefact.

By Gentoo vim maintainers or by me?

If possible, you, just because I can't reproduce this and I wouldn't be able to offer any additional information (just relaying).
