[Opening this issue under vcsgeneric because I don't see an option for vcscvs) Open the wizard for mounting a new CVS workspace. In the "CVS Connection Method" panel, enter correct values for everything, but in the "Repository" field, add a space after the correct reposity location. Continuing with the wizard (use built-in CVS client), the CVS login fails: Authentication failed. Response from server was: "cvs [pserver aborted] descramble: unknown scrambling method". It is then hard to diagnose the problem, because the root cause is in something invisible two panels back. It would be helpful if the UI trimmed the string it receives from the user before passing it on.
> [Opening this issue under vcsgeneric because I don't see an option > for vcscvs) This is correct. vcscvs module is dead for several releases already. vcsgeneric with cvs-profile sub-module is used instead. You're right, that trim() should be applied on the wizard entries. The wizard will likely be changed in NB 4.0, so I'll keep this in mind. PS.: It's too late to apply this to NB 3.5 :-( only severe bugs can be fixed now.
Martine, I don't think that fix will be hard. TM to 4.2.
