Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 Camino/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070509 Camino/1.5

I was using Safari as my web browser until two evenings ago.  Upon installation of Camino 1.5 and navigating to a website which had previously had the username and password stored in Keychain, I was asked by Camino if I wanted to store these items in Keychain.  Suspicious, I opened Keychain and noticed all entries under the "web sites" keychain missing, including the site I was visiting.  Please note that not only were the username and passwords missing, but everything was (site name, URL, etc.).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Not reproduceable it seems.  Whenever I go to a website where I'm asked to provide username and password, Camino simply asks if I want to store them in Keychain, which I assume is a perfectly normal Camino process.



I'm running a Power PC G4 Mac Mini with OS 10.4.10.

The only time it's possible for Camino to delete items is when you use Reset Camino, and even then it only deletes items it created. I don't see any way Camino could have done this, so I wonder if it was a Keychain bug.

Are there any messages in console.log from when this happened, from Camino or elsewhere?

I wasn't sure exactly where to look for messages while in Console.  In fact, it's all pretty much jibberish to me.  Let's do as you suggested and rack this one up as a Keychain bug.  Again, I'm not at all familiar with finding the correct log then understanding what it means.
