Dear Maintainer,

suddenly the TLS authentication feature with an additional key file
and the key direction is dropped from the configuration.

I can re-enter the information and save but when opening the config
dialog again that information is gone. I cannot use OpenVPN connections
that require TLS pre-authentication any more.

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Additional information:

I downgraded the packages…

- network-manager-openvpn

- network-manager-openvpn-gnome

…to version 1.8.4-1 and restarted the network manager. Now the problem
is gone. So apparently some recent change broke that functionality.

Thanks for your offer to help.

Since you are able to reproduce the issue, please run a git bisect to
find the first faulty commit.
Then report this upstream at

and report back with the issue number.
