Steps: 1) Open seahorse 2) File -> New 3) Select "PGP Key" 4) Enter Name, email address, /and comment/ 5) Finish rest of steps What happens? I get a key string like "David Tombs (my stupid comment) <cyan.s...@gmail.com>", where everyone will see my stupid comment. What should happen: Seahorse should tactfully warn the user like GPG does: You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form: "Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinri...@duesseldorf.de>" ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Mar 21 23:01:23 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: seahorse 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-20.58-generic SourcePackage: seahorse Uname: Linux 2.6.31-20-generic x86_64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/543886/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
