Bug Description

On a project I'm trying to create a password Gtk.Entry widget. If I set Entry.Visibility to false, Entry.Text and Entry.GetChars(0,-1) always return an empty string.

This must be a regression because it worked fine in 6.06 LTS.
libgtk2.0-cil version: 2.10.2-1ubuntu2

I'm filing this against gtk-sharp2 because I couldn't find the libgtk2.0-cil package.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

Hi there, I believed I discovered the real reason behind this issue.

When a entry in a dialog is masked, and the dialog is destroyed, then the string containing the real text is cleared.

            string s = "";
            using (Dialog dialog = new Dialog("Bug report", null, DialogFlags.Modal, Stock.Ok, ResponseType.Ok)) {
                TokenRetrieverControl control = new TokenRetrieverControl();
                dialog.VBox.Add(control);
                dialog.ShowAll();
                s = control.Pin;
                dialog.Run();
                dialog.Destroy();
            }

            Console.WriteLine("String value =\""+s+"\"" ); // The string s is empty here :-(
            Console.ReadLine();
