Thank you for your answers and (as a more technical user) I understand them better now. However, I still think that the current implementation is not a good measure for security. The average user still doesn't know what a placeholder is, why something needs to be replaced, there's no pointer where they can educate themselves further, either. They meet a pop-up which they have to click on four times in a quick succession (probably because there's a reference chain, or there are multiple usernames...

I found the following problems with the newly created warning/question message box which is popped up when a reference is in question: It asks two very different things: open something or destroy something. All within one pop-up without further information. Yes, I would like to evaluate the placeholder. No, by no means I would like to replace it. I don't even know whether it's undoable. These two questions are behind one single Yes/No button pair. Please, separate these two very different use cases...

I also can reproduce this lock-up without Wayland, solely on X. I'd like to help with some debug logs; feel free to ask away if you need anything.

The problem is not necessarily with the high CPU usage but with it wakes up CPU often. So even if the usage is near 0%, but the program polls 100 times a second for some change then it will drain the battery. If it polls only 10 times, it is much better. Thus you need to know how many "events" KeePass generate in a period. Apart from (perhaps some Mono-related) profilers, PowerTOP can show it to you, too.

After you extraced with unxz output.mlpd.xz, use mprof-report --debug output.mlpd for the detailed trace. I've just tried with the re-downloaded file and it worked fine. My mprof-report version is 2.0.

I created a test database with defaults left in. Then I restarted the program with profiler. It ran for an hour minimised to tray and an hour being in the foreground. Possibly worth inspecting the output starting from its end.

I used the profiler and after starting KeePass and provided the password I let it run for 5 minutes. During that time about 2 MB of data has been collected. Is it safe to share the mono profiler data publicly?

KeePass power consumption is high, draining battery
