[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Bug#942644: owncloud-client: Password box doesn't strip trailing newline

[Conrad J.C. Hughes (for Debian package stuff)]

Package: owncloud-client
Version: 2.5.1.10973+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When adding a new server, the password dialog doesn't strip a trailing newline.
Seems that most password fields do that these days.  Context is password stores
where one copies a whole line (e.g. with triple click in a terminal), which
includes the trailing newline: when this kind of content is pasted into the
vast majority of password fields, the trailing newline (possibly CR/LF) gets
stripped.  Not so with Owncloud Client, which reports an authentication failure
as a result.

To reproduce:

  - If you have a terminal-based password store, the password may well be
displayed on its own line in the terminal.
  - The easiest way to copy this is just to triple-click, selecting the whole
line, including trailing newline.
  - When pasted into the OwnCloud add server dialog's password field, the
newline isn't stripped out, resulting in authentication failure.
  - Expected behaviour would be that the trailing newline is stripped, and
authentication succeeds.

Best,
Conrad
