Solved by focusing the result message after the notepad operation is complete. I think that's an acceptable compromise for ensuring that users of assistive tools are informed about the result even if the focus is moved to a different UI element (which, in general, should be avoided because users can get lost).

• ikloecker added a comment to T7755: Kleopatra: Show error if a certification did not succeed, even if the cause is crash of background process.

I had a quick look at the status messages that gpg emits. Unfortunately, gpg doesn't emit a status message after successfully signing a key. So, we may have to check whether the signed key really has a new certification to ensure that the operation succeeded. And we should make future version of gpg emit a success status.
