<p>since the issue is now fixed after re-installing I have a few
questions.<br>
Was your computer in standby not too long before seeing this
problem?</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/355071402014-12-10T12:26:53Z2016-10-14T10:58:15ZMacGPG2 #148: getting "PIN-Entry helper" defective <div><p>Hmm not sure. I think it was at least 20min since I got back
from lunch.</p></div>smithtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/355071402014-12-10T12:35:55Z2014-12-10T12:35:55ZMacGPG2 #148: getting "PIN-Entry helper" defective <div><p>And do you remember if there was a pinentry dialog visible (or
not active) at the moment of sending?</p>
<p>We're currently speculating that there might be a problem, where
a non-active pinentry-dialog is still visible and a new one is
requested, the new one times out, because the old one is still
waiting for a response.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/355071402014-12-10T12:38:50Z2016-10-14T10:58:15ZMacGPG2 #148: getting "PIN-Entry helper" defective <div><p>no .. there was no dialog open</p></div>smithtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/355071402015-01-02T00:46:21Z2015-01-02T00:46:21ZMacGPG2 #148: getting "PIN-Entry helper" defective <div><p>Hey Lukas,</p>

<p>We're not sure yet, what is causing this behavior. As Luke
pointed out we do have a few suspicions and are observing this
closely.</p>
<p>I'm closing this discussion. If you need further assistance or

<p>good news. We think, this issue has been fixed. If you want to
test the fix, please download our <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/">latest nightly GPG
Suite</a>. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download.
It would be very helpful, if you can provide feedback, as to
whether the fix works as expected.</p>
<p>If you have other questions you can open a new discussion any
time.</p>
<p>Best, steve</p>
<p>Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been
thoroughly tested yet, so bugs or crashes are to be expected.
Thanks for helping us test this fix.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/355071402015-07-06T07:37:54Z2016-10-14T10:58:16ZMacGPG2 #148: getting "PIN-Entry helper" defective <div><p>I encountered the issue 3 times in the last 6 months and each
time I fixed it by simply installing again. So I am afraid I will
not really be much help in confirming if this fix does the trick

re-open should the issue re-appear even after installing the latest
nightly.</p></div>Steve
