Bug Description

If you cancel the Authorize Passphrase Access dialog (from Seahorse), you get an Enter Passphrase dialog (from Evolution). Instead, the operation should be rejected. You should be dropped back to the message and not have to hit Cancel at another dialog.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However I don't quite get what the problem is actually. If you hit cancel on the seahorse-dialog, evolution asks for the passphrase since it did not get an answer from seahorse. So this is a problem in evolution, not in seahorse. Or did i understand you wrong?

Seahorse should tell Evolution the user aborted, so Evolution can avoid putting up its own box. Evolution should then be modified as such.

Closing the seahorse task as I think this should be handled by evolution.

Okay. In terms of implementation, how does Evolution tell the difference between Seahorse returning no passphrase due to Cancel being clicked and Seahorse failing (or not being present)?

the issue is an evolution-data-server one and there is some other bug about that on launchpad

I searched and couldn't find any other bug report about this in Launchpad. I then found one upstream, which was not linked to anything in Launchpad. Accordingly, I linked it here and re-opened.
