Title: Problem with decryption of an html text Post by: BlackHatCoiner on December 04, 2020, 09:56:41 AM I encrypted my profile page's source just to test something and once I tried to decrypt it, it didn't show me the original text. Is this some kind of bug? Why does the textfield understand html?

It may somewhat make sense. I mean if I make a html e-mail and encrypt it for you, at decrypting you may want to see the e-mail (web view), not its source. However, maybe you can ask on https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues about this.

Whenever user inputs random strings as "message", usually clients modify it to strip the message string of any "code" or invalid characters then use it. Which seems to be what's happening right here. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/7e18e2ea3199380d78e75dec0da4e85939ddf170/electrum/gui/qt/main_window.py#L2596-L2597 |
