@werner said the reading order should be like on the page https://gnupg.com/vsd/kleopatra-settings.html:

Tested with Gpg4win 5.0.2 (Beta):
Registry settings SOFTWARE\Gpg4win\Kleopatra\<config group>\<config entry>
works (I used [CertificateCreationWizard] EMAIL_placeholder for testing)

This is not "Unbreak now" because we have not released the software yet. Unbreak now should be used for bugs in deployed software but not during development.

Note: This was fine on gpg4win-5.0.1

Regarding some broken "reg create" on some filepath: split into T8141: Kleopatra: Many wrong registry keys created in HKCU\Software\Gpg4Win

I rechecked the keyboxd locking of pubring.db. On crash via gdb the file was unlocked before, so this doesn't seem to be the problem:

Ok in Gpg4win 5.0.2. (Beta), in German:

Libkleo does not specify the curve in the parameter file becuase keyCurvve:isEmpty is asserted:

Works on the command line and adding a subkey later does also work.

config file: Sorry, I got confused, it has to be %APPDATA%\GnuPG VS-Desktop\kleopatrarc in this case (VS-Desktop-4.0.90.1203-Beta), of course. And this one works.
Registry entry SOFTWARE\GnuPG VS-Desktop\Kleopatra\CMS\SaveCSRAsPEM does not work, though. But this is a separate issue, seems all Registry entries do not work in that build.

• config file: According to T7717: Location of qt-application config files %APPDATA%/Gpg4win/kleopatrarc should work.
• registry: According to T5707: Kleopatra: Use windows registry additionally to config files this should be SOFTWARE\Gpg4win\Kleopatra\CMS\SaveCSRAsPEM now

Works with VS-Desktop-4.0.90.1203-Beta when putting this in C:\Program Files\GnuPG VS-Desktop\share\kleopatrarc
CSR is then saved as .pem file with ascii-armored content.

The new German tool tip is shown in Gpg4win 5.0.2 (Beta)

Done and backported for VSD 3.4.

Thanks for the info!

This was fixed in Okular with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/merge_requests/2115 . The MR was merged 2026-02-05.

Does not work in the latest Gpg4win builds (5.0.0. to 5.0.2).
I have no idea which commit would be needed, I see no commit with this bug-ID.

So ok, go ahead Ingo with your plan in https://dev.gnupg.org/T7502#213972

Closing this as invalid.

I tend to agree with keeping it short and close to the wording we use for normal public key imports.

Ok, the behavior in gpg4win-5.0.0-beta413 @ win10 is the same (< 1s).
I can also reproduce the same behavior in other windows dialogs, e.g. in the explorer (changing the location address, clicking on the search input field).
So i'd also say, that this is a virtualbox or win issue and would just close this as invalid without further testing?

I'll also retest this with gpg4win-5.0.0-beta413. I think, this bug was different back then (no need to do it quickly). If it's gone there, too, it might have been a virtualbox or win bug. If it's still there, it might hint at qt/kde.

It turns out that the problem occurs if one clicks with the mouse quickly (< 1 s) after typing a character.

I was too fast with closing this, seems it is reproducible under special conditions. But not by me, here it works.

I can still reproduce this with gpg4win-5.0.1 @ win11

I cannot reproduce this with the released Gpg4win 5.0.1 on Windows 10 (VM).

Done.

Backported for VSD 3.4

We decided to backport to VSD 3.4 because it fixes an accessibility issue.

Backported for VSD 3.4

We decided to backport to VSD 3.4 because it fixes an accessibility issue (wrong tab order).

Fixed.

The fix also fixes the wrong tab order of the Close button. (See T8125: Kleopatra: Wrong tab order of "Show Email" button for the same problem concerning the Show Email button.)

Regarding the above comments:
Currently, the Show Email button is never shown in the notepad and the Close button (as X) is only shown in the notepad. So, in the notepad there's only Show Audit Log next to X. And elsewhere there's Show Audit Log and, if applicable, Show Email below.

Please add the hint you mentioned.

Changing the position needs some more thought. There can be up to four buttons displayed next to the result:

• Force decryption is shown if decryption failed due to a missing integrity check (MDC)
• Show Audit Log is always shown (unless retrieving the audit log failed)
• Show Email is shown if the decrypted content is something that can be opened in the mail viewer
• Close is always shown in the notepad

"Show audit log" is already a button (probably changed for another ticket). I'll look into the remaining points.

The workaround is ready for testing. Kleopatra shouldn't show duplicate LDAP servers in the settings dialog. As a side effect global ldapserver entries should no longer multiply in the local dirmngr.conf each time the LDAP servers are changed, but one copy of the global ldapserver entries is still written to the local dirmngr.conf.

Backported for VSD 3.4

Done.
