Indeed it should be "name" throughout. I think that needing to copy the name/title is a rare use-case, so it's more convenient to click anywhere on the row and have the value copied. Number 3 is indeed a bug, already fixed for the next release.
meant to say #2 and #3 are bugs!
Actually, #3 in my list is a bug. I can resubmit it as a bug filing if desired.
Good idea! Thanks.
how about a show/no show in Options on Display screen. If its not shown/used Edit Entry screen should look just like it did in the version prior to v3.71
That would be a fine solution.
Make Custom Fields less obtrusive
Ability to autotype the Value field on a row in the table of custom fields of an entry
Will be in next release, in the form of '\v{name}' wher 'name' is the name of the field. For example, if the name is 'PIN' and the value is '4321', the '\v{PIN}' will result in '4321' being autotyped.
I agree that it's a distraction if never used. Perhaps a "folding" button to hide/show this will be added in a future release.
Just a minor observation: on the Xfce environments noted in my lead post, the procedure suggested in Discussion 1134 - click Cancel or "X" on Unlock dialog then "X" on main window - does not work, because dismissing the Unlock Dialog also iconifies the main window, and clicking on the icon brings up both the main window and the Unlock dialog. This is actually the desired behavior, which may differ under certain window manager (Gnome with certain settings could be one such candidate).
Thank you for that quick and comprehensive response. I had not (obviously) found the discussion, and having read through discussion 1122 understand the reasons that the Exit button was removed from the Unlock dialog.

Hmm, it seems Password Safe version 1.17 is included in the official Ubuntu package repository for Ubuntu 24.04. Password Safe actually works with Wayland on various Linux distributions. A known issue with Wayland is the auto-type functionality. You could try the installation package from the Password Safe repository.
In earlier versions, the unlock dialog included an “Exit” button. After thorough discussion and consideration of the pros and cons of such a button in the context of a locked database, it was decided to remove the button in order to simplify the dialog and preserve data integrity. However, there are use cases where abruptly exiting the application via a button in the unlock dialog can be problematic. Preventing such situations simplifies further use of the application. A little extra security can...
I never use Custom Fields and wonder if the Custom Fields box which was added to the bottom of the Basic Tab in Version 3.71 could be moved anywhere else? Just curious.
Passwordsafe V1.23 on Linux (Xubuntu 24.04.2 and Mint 22.3 Xfce) Request: add a "Terminate Program" button to the password popup window. Priority: low. At present, when a logged-in session times out a popup window is displayed in which to re-enter the password to continue using the program. This security precaution is correct and is fine when you want to continue using the program. Because the popup is a modal dialog you cannot go back to the main window to terminate the program by Ctrl-Q or clicking...
Swiftkey does not allow to swich to PWS keyboard
Ability to autotype the Value field on a row in the table of custom fields of an entry
A couple of small usability issues with custom fields use in v3.71.0 such as asterisks copied instead of the masked value
Hi Rony, I found a manual solution to the Find Toolbar showing based on your suggestion, which I believe indicates that there is a bug. Password Safe v3.70 and v3.71pre (and versions before these) added only the line <findtoolbaractive>1</findtoolbaractive> to the pwsafe.cfg file when the safe is closed with the Find toolbar active. However the Find toolbar does not automatically show on opening the safe with this line in the cfg file. While trying various tests, in one test I added both lines <findtoolbaractive>1</findtoolbaractive>...

"ShowFindToolBarOnOpen" and/or "FindToolBarActive"
Right. I also use shortcuts and aliases, so tracking that extra info appears in the area below custom fields. However, I'd still recommend if extra space is there that could be taken out to do so since it could help to prevent the OK, Cancel, Apply, Help buttons from not being visible on screen in some situations. A couple more comments/requests. Re: v3.71.0pre, seems like a "Copy Value" button is needed for a selected custom field. Re: being able to type in a font value, Word for instance allow...
Ok. Will look more into it. What's the string that should be in pwsafe.cfg file for this? Thanks.
This works for me both in 3.70 snd 3.71pre. Note that the state of the Find toolbar is kept in pwsafe.cfg. Perhaps this is a write access issue to that file?
