Walletwasabi: Password input display bug on Windows 7 w/ JP region settings

Created on 13 Jan 2019  路  8Comments  路  Source: zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi

General Description

Running Wasabi v1.1.0 under Windows 7 with Japanese system locale for non-unicode programs causes a display bug when entering characters into the password field. Instead of displaying asterisks for each character, Wasabi displays assorted unicode characters (generally Chinese characters). This bug was not present in older versions of Wasabi. The issue seems limited to just a display bug as Wasabi will still accept correct password entry and reject incorrect password entry so it is not especially high-priority.

How To Reproduce?

  1. Run your Windows system in Japanese region settings (potentially others as well).
  2. Run Wasabi and enter characters in the password field.

Screenshots

Entering characters into the password field looks something like this (with varying character patterns, though whatever the pattern is, it stays the same regardless of user input).

If you enter enough characters the other UI text is pushed right.

Hahaha!

P.s.(A caps lock warning would be useful.)

@bruceleeroy18 That's a good and nobrainer idea. Opened an issue for that: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/1077

I can definitely represent the nobrainers. Gave myself a good scare for about 2 minutes before I realized caps lock was on.聽
(Thanks again. One more donation coming your way since I finished my coinjoins. Everything went smoothly.)

@bruceleeroy18 Thanks a lot! Btw, I just upvoted your comment on Reddit:)

Anyway, closing this.
