MacGPG: pinentry-mac: Cannot paste into pinentry anymore?
So this morning, I realized I could not copy my passphrase from 1Password and paste it into pinentry-mac anymore. Command-V just doesn't do anything, no beep or other indicator that something should be happening either.
I validated that I did have the passphrase on my clipboard, and also tried other clipboard contents, but nothing would paste.
The strange thing is that I don't remember doing anything in the past day or so that would have changed the configuration of my system. No updates to the GPGTools suite, no OS updates, nothing from MacPorts that would make a difference.
Rebooting the machine does not help. In the meantime I am resorting to pinentry-curses, but this won't work well with the IDEs I use.
Thanks!

HI cro,
we are not aware of such a problem.
Could you please download and install our latest hotfix GPG Suite and see if that solves your problem.
All the best,
Steve

So I decided to switch back to the GUI version from the curses version before installing the hotfix in case the problem fixed itself (I had rebooted before, as well as tried numerous other troubleshooting steps). Lo and behold, I can paste again, even though I had changed nothing. Sorry to have troubled you, if it crops up again I will install the hotfix version and (re)open an issue.

That is good news. Although it makes it very hard to understand what went wrong in the first place. Please keep an eye on this and don't hesitate to ping if you encounter further glitchiness.
