I repro'd this easily with Ubuntu 12.04 Keepass 2.18. I created a new file and saved to the desktop. Set master password as "test". When I close and reopen the same kdbx file, if I type in "text", works fine. If I hit backspace after the last "t" and then retype "t", then hit "ok" I get the keyfile error, even though no keyfile is set and the password should be identical.
In Keepass2 on Ubuntu 12.04 I can NOT copy/paste into the Master Password field when first opening a database file if the copied text includes a symbol. When I paste a symbol characters like the degree symbol, °, it does not paste. Other characters seem to paste fine. The paste function appears in a rmb menu but when I do it nothing seems to happen? What's wrong?
UPDATE
I should note that on pasting passwords into new Keepass2 entries, I also see errant/spurious characters inserted (for example small rectangles). Seems like this may be related. Not sure it will effect most people since the password still pastes ok (paste omits the spurious characters in text fields), but perhaps it may affect other mono password fields used in Ubuntu. Obviously can also be confusing to the user.
create new entry
copy paste a password into password field
save/close/reopen entry
show password
small rectangles appended on end of password
I had the same problem with buggy password characters when using Mono.
Keepassx works better on Linux, it's cross platform and doesn't need Mono.
apt-get install keepassx

I summarize a lot of data in Jira often, and need to provide a CML (command line) to each line in the table I create.
The CML is long, meaningless, has spaces in it and is only used to copy-paste into a Linux shell for running a script.
What I do today is write up a table in the description and then open a comment and repeat every line with a CML below it. Primitive....
I would like to add to the table in the description a one word link that when clicked on, copies the text to the clipboard.
I converted the CML into a link by doing this: [OneWord|#CML]] and indeed the long CML was replaced with OneWord.
I hoped that when I right-clicked on it and selected "Copy link address" it would copy the CML to the clipboard.
What actually happend is that it copied to the clipboard also the Jira URL and replaces every space with %20.
So for example if the CML is:
abc -j xyz -c efg.jp
What i get is:
https://jira.blabla/blabla/bla#abc%20-j%20xyz%20-c%20efg.jp
I would appreciate any help possible.
Everytime i try to copy and paste something on my Pycharm editor it all paste it in single line. How to automatically paste in multiline?[1]
This is what i copied.....
[{"DateObserved":"2020-06-12 ","HourObserved":23,"LocalTimeZone":"EST","ReportingArea":"Central New York Region","StateCode":"NY","Latitude":42.8049,"Longitude":-76.3589,"ParameterName":"O3","AQI":35,"Category":{"Number":1,"Name":"Good"}},{"DateObserved":"2020-06-12 ","HourObserved":23,"LocalTimeZone":"EST","ReportingArea":"Central New York Region","StateCode":"NY","Latitude":42.8049,"Longitude":-76.3589,"ParameterName":"PM2.5","AQI":0,"Category":{"Number":1,"Name":"Good"}}]
and this all got pasted in a single line on my Pycharm editor. can anybody help with that, its pretty hard to read all this info on a single line?
It seems like you didn't copy anything containing newlines as you can see better after my edit (See the side-by-side-markdown diff so you can see that I didn't remove any line breaks).
If you just copy everything as a single line, PyCharm won't be able to split it into multiple lines (except with auto-format maybe).
As you haven't said how you copied the input, I can't say what exactly is wrong.
However, it seems like you copied something from a program that didn't display the text correctly so that you couldn't copy it correctly.
Another possibility is that the IDE interprets line breaks differently.
For example, windows uses CRLF(carriage return+line feed) as a line seperator while linux uses LF only.
If your file contains only LF line breaks and PyCharm is configured to use CRLF like breaks, it is possible that it ignores them because of that.
You can change that behaviour at the bottom of your file in PyCharm (button with CR/CRLF/LF).
A little backstory. I work at an organization that uses Mail Merge and SQL Databases to populate letters with names/addresses. Those letters are sent out to our donors as thank yous. These letters change frequently, and new ones come up at least 10 times a month.
To simplify our process, I created a program that allows you to copy/paste the letter body content into rich text boxes and when you press the 'Go' button, it opens a pre-made Word template and replaces bookmarks in the template with the copied body content.
The program works great with most letters, but some of them have a problem where these thick black lines are created and I'm unable to do ANYTHING to remove them. I can't right click them, I can't delete them with Backspace or Delete, and I can't highlight them.
I'm thinking that the problem may come from hidden formatting. Some of the employees that write the letters are using the Mac version of Office 2016, and I'm using Windows version. I sent an RTF file that showed the black lines for me to someone who uses the Mac version, and they said they couldn't see the lines.
My question is, is there a way to get rid of these lines or prevent them in the future? I've thought about upgrading Office version to 2019 on both ends, but there are quite a few people that have their hands in these letters and it may be difficult to upgrade everyone.
Please refer to the attached image for visual reference. Names and personal details have been removed.
EDIT: Here is the 'Go' code:
'create temp rtf files to maintain rtf
If strForm = "ANG2" Then
txtPreD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\fptemp.rtf")
txtPostD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\bptemp.rtf")
ElseIf strForm = "ANGL" Then
txtPreD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\predtemp.rtf")
txtPostD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\postdtemp.rtf")
txtBP.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\bptemp.rtf")
Else
txtPreD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\predtemp.rtf")
txtPostD.SaveFile("\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\postdtemp.rtf")
End If
'if bookmarks exists, insert appropriate rtf files
If odoc.Bookmarks.Exists("fp") = True Then
goWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("fp").Select()
goWord.Selection.InsertFile(FileName:="\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\fptemp.rtf")
End If
If odoc.Bookmarks.Exists("bp") = True Then
goWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bp").Select()
goWord.Selection.InsertFile(FileName:="\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\bptemp.rtf")
End If
If odoc.Bookmarks.Exists("PreD") = True Then
goWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("PreD").Select()
goWord.Selection.InsertFile(FileName:="\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\predtemp.rtf")
End If
If odoc.Bookmarks.Exists("PostD") = True Then
goWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("PostD").Select()
goWord.Selection.InsertFile(FileName:="\\server\AcknowledgementLetters\postdtemp.rtf")
End If
Before this happens, the program checks to see which template it needs to open and opens it as a Word object (odoc). This bit of code is really the only important part. After this, I just click Finish it just saves the file once I'm done checking it for errors. Also, yes, the RTF files that it creates DO have the black lines as well. Here is another picture of the program itself just so you can get a better idea of what's going on.
Normally, using cmd+shift+f will launch PhpStorm's "Find in Path..." feature, and the search text defaults to whatever text is highlighted in the IDE. For me, it defaults to what is highlighted for a fraction of a second, before being replaced with this code:
2223 2BC9 EA71 DED7 8AAE DB73 C773 21A0 E816 78AE
I am not sure what this code represents but it is always the same. I have to delete and re-type or paste the content I want to search in order to continue with my search. The next time I open the "Find in Path" dialog, it happens again.
Does anyone have any clue what this might mean?
It must be caused by GPG tool: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/51070-gpgservices-spurious-select-key-dialog.

I have used the "Hex Editor to modify DPB to DPx" many times in the past to bypass VBA project security on my old Excel VBA projects (.xls), so I definitely know how to do it and know that I can do it.
However I have just tried to do it yesterday and found that it no longer seems to work. I tried using both Excel 2011 (Mac) and Excel 2003 (Windows) and in both cases, I got the same behaviour;
Opening the VBA editor gave a message saying that the project is corrupted and that the project will be removed. The VBA editor then opens and, sure enough, all VBA is stripped out from modules and worksheets.
I have tried this method:
Is there a way to crack the password on an Excel VBA Project? (ie. creating a spreadsheet with a known password and then copying across the relevant fields)
But find that the length of the "GC" key created on my 'dummy' spreadsheet is shorter than the "GC" key on the spreadsheet that I am wishing to access (the "target"). I had read elsewhere that in cases where the "target" keys were longer, you could pad the "dummy" keys to the same length but there is nothing i can find to say what to do in the reverse case.
So - my questions (s);
Is anyone aware if a patch has been applied that makes the "hex editor" approach invalid?
Can anyone help with what to do when the dummy keys are longer than the target keys?
Can anyone else provide any updated onsite into this issue?
EDIT
Having now solved this (to some degree) i thought i'd add a summary here.
I HAVE NOT been able to get this to work on Mac Excel 2011. Something about changing the file from filname.xlsm to fielname.zip and back again results in a corrupted excel file which Excel 2011 refuses to recognise.
I DID manage to get this to work on an old windows machine (XP/Excel 2007) by modifying the .xlsm file name to .zip, editing the DPB= AND GC= values in the vbaproject.bin file with a hex editor then saving this in the .zip file before renaming the .zip back to xlsm. I used the "test" example given by Ricko at the bottom and it worked with ONE CAVEAT - i had to 'pad' out my GC value to make it that same length as the original one in my file.
ORIGINAL: GC="0F0DA36FAF938494849484"
NEW: (TEST) GC="BAB816BBF4BCF4BCF4" (from Ricko below)
NEW: (TEST) GC="BAB816BBF4BCF4BCF40000" (what i used and what worked)
I have your answer, as I just had the same problem today:
Someone made a working vba code that changes the vba protection password to "macro", for all excel files, including .xlsm (2007+ versions). You can see how it works by browsing his code.
This is the guy's blog: http://lbeliarl.blogspot.com/2014/03/excel-removing-password-from-vba.html
Here's the file that does the work: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6sFi5sSqEKbLUIwUTVhY3lWZE0/edit
Pasted from a previous post from his blog:
For Excel 2007/2010 (.xlsm) files do following steps:
Create a new .xlsm file.
In the VBA part, set a simple password (for instance 'macro').
Save the file and exit.
Change file extention to '.zip', open it by any archiver program.
Find the file: 'vbaProject.bin' (in 'xl' folder).
Extract it from archive.
Open the file you just extracted with a hex editor.
Find and copy the value from parameter DPB (value in quotation mark), example:
DPB="282A84CBA1CBA1345FCCB154E20721DE77F7D2378D0EAC90427A22021A46E9CE6F17188A". (This value generated for 'macro' password. You can use this DPB value to skip steps 1-8)
Do steps 4-7 for file with unknown password (file you want to unlock).
Change DBP value in this file on value that you have copied in step 8.
If copied value is shorter than in encrypted file you should populate missing characters with 0 (zero). If value is longer - that is not a problem (paste it as is).
Save the 'vbaProject.bin' file and exit from hex editor.
Replace existing 'vbaProject.bin' file with modified one.
Change extention from '.zip' back to '.xlsm'
Now, open the excel file you need to see the VBA code in. The password for the VBA code
will simply be macro (as in the example I'm showing here).
New version, now you also have the GC=
try to replace both DPB and GC with those
DPB="DBD9775A4B774B77B4894C77DFE8FE6D2CCEB951E8045C2AB7CA507D8F3AC7E3A7F59012A2"
GC="BAB816BBF4BCF4BCF4"
password will be "test"
Open xls file with a hex editor.
Search for DPB
Replace DPB to DPx
Save file.
Open file in Excel.
Click "Yes" if you get any message box.
Set new password from VBA Project Properties.
Close and open again file, then type your new password to unprotect.

If you deal with .xlsm file instead of .xls you can use the old method. I was trying to modify vbaProject.bin in .xlsm several times using DBP->DBx method by it didn't work, also changing value of DBP didn't. So I was very suprised that following worked :
1. Save .xlsm as .xls.
2. Use DBP->DBx method on .xls.
3. Unfortunately some erros may occur when using modified .xls file, I had to save .xls as .xlsx and add modules, then save as .xlsm.
