Bug Description

Binary package hint: sbackup

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Simple Backup-Configuration from the menu
2) Go to the Report tab
3) Paste "smtp.gmail.com" into the SMTP server field (all other fields empty or default value)

Expected result:
- Text pasted, no uncaught errors

Actual Result:
- Text paster, but with uncaught error (see details below)

Further Info:
- Also happens in the To field
- Only happens on pasting from the clipboard. Writing directly in the field works fine.

Thank you for using SBackup and for taking the time reporting this bug.

In order to track down the cause of the problem some more information are required. Please answer the following questions:

* Is the bug reproducible; does it happen every time?
* do you run sbackup as superuser (root) or as regular user?

Thanks for your help.

 - It used to be reproducible in the version I reported it on. However, it seems to have been fixed along the way. I'm not sure if sbackup has been updated along the way, but the problem seems to have disappeared nonetheless.

* do you run sbackup as superuser (root) or as regular user?
- as root

It seems you can close this bug, though.

This error happens if report settings are changed while no section 'report' was initialized within the configuration file so far. It was not yet fixed as stated in comment #2 rather it is only triggered under certain circumstances. It is fixed now by checking the existance of section 'report' before adding options to it.
