Component: keepass.x86_64 2.40-1.fc29 @fedora
Clicking on option 'Generate Password ...' closes the application window. Application has been reinstalled yet behavior is present. All dependencies are installed:
$ LANG=C dnf deplist keepass | awk '/provider:/ {print $2}' | sort -u | egrep ".noarch|.x86_64"

Which window closes?
How did you open the password generator?
Does it happen when you preview passwords?
Do you have any plug-ins installed? Remove them and test.

– The one illustrated in attachment Keepass_v.2.40_Fedora.png.
– From bar menu, Tools | Generate Password ....
– Susequently operation passwords' preview cannot be operated.
– No plug-ins installed:
The window in your screen shot appears to be the main KeePass window.
Is KeePass still running or do you have to re-start it?
cheers, Paul
– Indeed. KeePass is not running as illustrated here in second step:
That seems to be a crash. Do you get any dump output if you run KeePass from a terminal window?
cheers, Paul
I didn't have that intuition. I get in that order error messages:
I don't know what that's complaining about, but Dominik may have an idea.
cheers, Paul
p.s. I've posted your dump below
Mysterious. I installed Fedora 29 and tested it, with
For me, the 'Generate Password' command works perfectly fine; KeePass doesn't crash.
Your stack trace shows two exceptions, so I'm not sure what exactly the root cause is.
Can you please post your ~/.config/KeePass/KeePass.config.xml file?
Thanks and best regards,
Dominik
See attaxhement KeePass.config.xml.
Great, thanks! I can reproduce the problem now and think that I found the issue; will implement a solution soon.

How lucky I am; Keepass v. 2 is easily among the 512 best FOSS applications present in Fedora repository, thanks to mono. I am only one of its users. In hope that some Fedora users –even a few more–would contribute undirectly to serve the purpose of Keepass developpers, I reported an aspect, possibly trivial, at Red Hat Bugzilla.
I've fixed this bug now (for KeePass 2.41). Thanks again for reporting it!
Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:

wine.x86_64 3.19-1.fc29 won't allow to test snapshot sample on Linux Fedora; message produced:
Test it with Mono instead of Wine; "

Keepass v. 2 is easily among the 5 best FOSS applications
:)
I confirm that version 2.40 (Dev 181107) works as intended –attachment Keepassv._2.40_Dev_181107_password_generator_options.png – using suggested tool – on my system outdated: (4.8.0-12); last stable (5.16.0.179) –. So mono is a tool; that's a new knowledge to me:
I noticed that notched-wheel-illustrating icon under option Generate using custom algorithm is not operationnal while parameter (none) is selected; Probably not an issue.
I used 'applications' which is a non-appropriate term since repository containns packages. 512 best packages out of 58 215, then might be equivalent to best among 64 applications.
Great; thanks for testing it.
The options button right of the custom algorithm selection box intentionally is disabled for the '(None)' algorithm, because this algorithm doesn't have any options.
Best regards,
Dominik
