Comment 7 for bug 1299747

I select 'add a new key or item' > PGP Key and I am presented with a dialogue box requesting my Full Name and E-mail address. The first 3 attempts that I made failed but the final attempt seemed to succeed. For the last attempt I avoided expanding the 'Advanced key options' area. I thought that perhaps setting an Expiry Date or Comment was causing an issue.

I can see now that I have a second key added. As mentioned above it seems that the real problem is that it takes a very long time to finish the key generation process, over 18 minutes so far on some of the keys. I agree with TORNADO that the interface should give some hint that it is working still rather than silently failing.
