GpgOL: Certificates imported from WKD are always shown as level 2
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

A signature by an OpenPGP certificate imported via WKD is always shown as level 2 security, even if certified by ones own key.

Expected:
That the level is elevated to 3 when it is certified by a fully trusted certificate or 4 when certified by an ultimately trusted certificate.

I can't reproduce this on gpg4win-5.0.0-beta413 @ win11.

For the mail ted:INBOX/Sicherheitslevels/2 security level 2 (wkd), after importing the cert via wkd:

  • signing by edward results in security level 3
  • signing by ted results in security level 4

It takes a while and possibly several refreshes of the mail preview to get the update (or it takes a while until the trusdb was refreshed), maybe this was the case here?
