GPG Command Line Crash when entering current recipients (screen goes to gibberish)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When trying to encrypt text from Terminal, GPG blows up after pressing Return to
leave the "Enter current recipients" dialog. It says "End with an empty line:"
and when I press Return, the screen goes to gibberish. Sometimes Ctl-D will
restore legibility, sometimes not. See attached screenshot. In any case, I've
tried on 2 different computers. One running Ubuntu 8.04 and the other running
the new 8.10 release. Using the standard GPG 1.4.6 that comes with Ubuntu.

Event Timeline

This is a problem with your terminal,locale or readline library. I can't
replicate this using a vanilla gnupg. Please check with Ubuntu.
