#1765 Paste " · " causes order to close

[Luca Luccani]

Copying and pasting the · character into any input causes the program to interpret it as an "exit", asking if you want to save the data or not. My Manjaro system 17.1.11 Hakoila, Kernel x86_64 4.14.59-rt37-MANJARO

What is the character you have pasted - ASCII number?
Pasting into what sort of input? Editing, searching?
The issue may be mono or your version of Linux. Are you able to test on a Windows system? If not can you post a test database with a couple of entries containing the problem character?

cheers, Paul

I can reproduce this. Mono crashes with the following stack trace:

System.ExecutionEngineException: String conversion error: Illegal byte sequence encounted in the input.

As it can be seen, there's no KeePass code involved. I also don't see how a reasonable workaround could look like. This must be fixed in Mono, not in KeePass.

Thanks and best regards,
