Kleopatra "Sign As" has no comment for the key

Hi everyone and happy new year.

I wanna add request bug fix in Kleopatra interface.
Window Sing and Encrypt → Dropdown menus for “Sing as” and “Encrypt for”
So “Encrypt for” shows keys in with full information like “User (comment) (certied, OpenPGP, Created:…)”
But “Sing as” shows short keys info, very simmilar, but without “(comment)”. It is very confusing if you have 2 keys with same name (without email) but different comments.

Please make “Sing as” look the same way as “Encrypt for”.
Thank you.

Just in case:
Windows10
Kleopatra Version 3.3.0 (Gpg4win-4.4.0)

Hi @MaxC,

thanks for the request!

@eebb to me this looks like a valid point to show the comment in both drop downs. Is there a reason why the comment is currently only shown in the drop down for recipients to encrypt to?

Hi Max,

I can not replicate this, (tried it with WIN 10 and Gpg4win 4.4.0, too).
For me the comment is identical for sign and encrypt:

Maybe I did not understand the issue correctly?
Please add a screenshot to illustrate your issue.

Ok. The “Ecnrypt for me” has short info too. Only “Encrypt for others” has a long info.

There is Certificate “Conny Comment” on your screenshot.
UID name: “Conny Comment”
UID comment: “This is my key”
UID Email: “foo@bar.org”

So. you cant see UID Coment in list, only in popup window.
Try add this uid in to “Encrypt to others” and you will see your comment “This is my key”

I see, thank you for the clarification. I’ll make a ticket.
