Public bug reported:
There seems to be a difference from 11.04 (which I last used). In
12.04, the PGP key system can have its keys handled via Seahorse. in
11.04, you could expand a key if it has multiple sub-identities and
email addresses on the key, or you could view the email addresses and
comments on that sub-identity, as well as see the primary key
information.
This is not the case in 12.04. While you can expand the key, you cannot
see what email addresses or comments are tied to those sub ids. This
makes adding additional emails/etc. to the keys, and determining which
one is the primary key. When you have two IDs on the same key, its not
a problem, but when you have three or four, it becomes troublesome.
------
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
(1) In 12.04, open seahorse.
(2) Go to "Personal Keys"
(3) Either create or import a complete key (including private keys),
where that key has multiple names and signatures on it.
(DO BOTH 4A AND 4B!)
(4a) Open the key's properties, go to the "names and signatures" tab. There
will be listed first names, but no email information or comments.
(4b) In the "Personal Keys" tab, you will see an arrow next to a multi-
name key. Click that to expand. You will see the other names on the
key, but no email information about those other names.
