[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#861797: gnupg: Timeout when changing GPG key password is too short

[Philipp Marek]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.20-3
Severity: normal

I tried to change my GPG key password, but seem to have mistyped somewhere, 
so the gnome-pinentry dialog told me "password mismatch".

I erased both input fields and tried again; but as I chose a nice and long
passphrase, the (default?) timeout of 1 minute hit me while filling in the
2nd field and canceled the dialog, discarding my 1.8 typed passwords ;/


Please change the default timeout, or, better yet, don't trigger it while
the input box receives keypresses.
