Open

Description

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Some words in passphrase produce the "Please check spelling" warning. Clicking on the "Restore wallet" button causes error:

Restore failed
Null check operator used on a null value

Expected Behavior

All words are marked as valid, restoration is successful.

Reproduce Steps

  1. Download Monero CLI from https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli and create a new wallet: monero-wallet-cli --generate-new-wallet=stack --password stack --mnemonic-language English
  2. In Stack Wallet: Add Wallet -> XMR ->Restore -> 25-word and paste the passphrase from step 1.

Environment

Latest Debian Trixie (testing) running sw-v2.3.0.AppImage (2d90943)
