Kleopatra: Double-click in Server Lookup should open Certificate Details
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

I have just double-clicked a certificate in the result list of the Server Lookup to open the Certificate Details and was mildly shocked when Kleopatra told me that it had successfully imported the certificate. I think this should be changed. Double-clicking a certificate in the result list of the Server Lookup should have the same effect as everywhere else.

Reasoning:

  • It's very surprising (and bad UX) that the double-click gesture has a different effect in the Server Lookup than in most (or all) other places where a list of certificates is shown.
  • In case more than one certificate is found the user may want to inspect the certificates (e.g. to check the other user IDs) to find the right one to import. For this they need to check the Certificate Details.
  • The Lookup window closes after the double-click making it impossible to import further certificates.
