Kleopatra: Confusing additional pinentry on creation of new keypair with ADSK configured
Open, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

When a new keypair is created while an ADSK is configured in the gpg.conf, after the usual dialog to enter the new password twice an additional dialog pops up, asking for the password of an unknown user ID:

This is the password for the key being generated.

The best solution would be to cache the password from the first step and not annoy the user with this additional question.
