I can't paste my private key passphrase into the dialog box
I'm using Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14.10 with Enigmail for GPG encryption. When Thunderbird needs my passphrase, a dialog box pops up asking for it, but it won't let me paste the passphrase into the dialog box. I use a 64 character totally random passphrase including special characters, and I can't sit and type the thing every time. I need to be able to paste it from my password manager. I'm not even sure if this is a Thunderbird problem, or if it's with Enigmail or Ubuntu. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Thanks so much for the links. None of them directly solved the issue, but they led to places that did. The solution involved updating a particular package that was unavailable in the 14.10 repos and thus had to be manually downloaded, compiled from source, and installed. Marked as solved.
