seahorse issues in trust functions

After all that, are you listed as one of the people that signed the key?

I think the simplest course of action would be to just remove the right-click->Sign This Key option.

After all the bugs I described I'm as one of the people that signed the key or, however, sorehorse shows this (I think I have to go to command line to verify this to be sure at 100% as bug 304539)
I think we cannot only remove the right-click -> sign this key option but, at this point, also the sign button in the main window. I think the better solution is to show the "trust" tab of the key properties either after clicking on the sign button or after right clicking - "Sign This", so we are sure that the user will sign a key only after having checked the option "I have verified that this key is owned by <<USER>>". At last we'll have unified the signing procedure in logical way.

Ah, I didn't see the Sign button in the main window. You're right. It
should only be accessible from the same place as "I've verified..." or
at the very *least* it should be grey for any key that doesn't have that
checkbox marked.

Er, you said that it listed all the signers in the box on the "I've
verified..." windows. Are you visible in there?

Morgan, yes, I'm visible in that window (only I signed the key).

Wait...I can't reproduce this in Intrepid.

If I do any of the following, the same window comes up:
- Right-click -> Sign
- "Sign" button on toolbar
- Right-click -> Properties -> Trust -> "Sign this Key"

That window asks how carefully the key has been checked. It does not have any requirements on checking the key, so there is no inconsistency.

Nowhere in Seahorse do I see "I have verified that this key is owned by <<USER>>" at all. The Trust tab's only checkbox is "I trust signatures from ____ on other keys." Checking that checkbox is not a requirement to hit the "Sign this Key" button next to it.

Either it changed between 8.04 and 8.10 or the Italian translation is wrong. Trying to see in #ubuntu-it if anyone can translate the current one to see if it changed.

LjL in #ubuntu-it says that the Italian translation in 8.10 matches with what the English 8.10 says, and the Seahorse dev says he's pretty sure that was one of the Seahorse 2.22 -> 2.24 changes. So, I'm marking it Fix Released.

Morgan, I have to contradict to you as I can confirm in Intrepid almost all I have posted. I made tests with Intrepid live and with seahorse 2.24.1. In fact:
1) I imported a key with "import remote keys" button, I signed it (with "sign" button or with "sign" option in the context menu opened with mouse right button makes not difference), I went to trust tab in key properties and I selected "trust signatures from ... on the other keys" and then the first bug appears as the "sign this key" button (in the same tab) is showed as I didn't sign this key (but I just signed it). If I close this window and then I reopen it the "sing this key" disappears and a grey button "revoke signature" is showed but I have created the key with the ability to revoke it.
2) I imported a key in my keyring, I opened the trust tab in key properties and I signed the key with the button I find in this tab. When signed a new "sign this key" button is showed again. If I close this window and then I re-open it all seems ok.
3) After importing and signing a key I went to the "detail" tab to select the trust level and then I went to the trust tab: the "sign this key" button is showed again, so I have to close the property window and reopen it to show a correct situation.

At last the only thing fixed is the fact that the option "I have verified that this key is owned by <<USER>>" in the trust tab of the key properties is present no more.

O_O OK, I'm playing with that checkbox some more, and I'm still not sure we're seeing the same thing, but I *am* seeing some odd behaviour in the Sign/Revoke button. Every time I check/uncheck the checkbox, the signature list appears for a moment and the button goes to "Revoke" mode, then wait 2 seconds and it switches to not having a list and being the "Sign" button.

I talked to the upstream developer yesterday, and he said the oddness of the checkbox is in current trunk still. The GNOME bug is now attached.

This bug was fixed in the package seahorse - 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
