Bug Description

Hit "+" button -> PGP key -> details: test1 test2 <email address hidden> -> hit create button -> test/test (username/password) -> ok

nothing happens. no error message, no 'seahorse/gpg is working' ...nothing

ubuntu 15.04
seahorse:
  Installed: 3.15.90-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.15.90-0ubuntu1

gnupg:
  Installed: 1.4.18-7ubuntu1

*once* the key showed up when I was on another window.

if not...an error message.

I also thought I had this bug (Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04), but apparently Seahorse (or gpg2) takes a quite some time to make the keys before they are visible in Seahorse (or by command: gpg2 --list-secret-keys). But after some time (do not know how exactly how long) keys are visible by command and in Seahorse (and maybe even restart needed?). Had this experience multiple times when making news keys.

Maybe change bug description to: takes a very long time before new gpg keys are visible in Seahorse (or by command).

Confirmed the bug on 16.04.1 x86_64 and seahorse 3.18.0 but also after very long time nothing happens into searhorse whereas with "gpg --list-keys" I can see that the imported keys appear immediately.

Same problem on 14.04.1 Linux Mint Qiana - new keys need some minutes before they appear in they right window pane. Found, that also with "gpg - list-key" and "gpg2 - list-keys" it takes some time showing new keys.

Confirm this issue on Linux Mint 18.1 Serena (Ubuntu 16.04 based). It is possible that this problem is driven by long time of generating the key. On my laptop (Intel i5) 4096-bit key was generated for 15 minutes...
