Summary:
[WinPT][Windows7x64] Unable to select anty key in "Decryption" window

Detailed description

Hello,
My setup:
OS : Windows 7 x64
Affected versions:
GnuTP : 4.0.0, 4.3.0, 4.4.0
WinPT : 1.4.3, 1.5.2, 1.5.3

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Get an Windows7 x64 machine
2. Install one of gnupt versions (4.0.0, 4.3.0, 4.4.0), each time select newest WinPT version (1.4.3, 1.5.2, 1.5.3)
3. Configure WinPT to have several private-public key pairs.
4. Use one of the keys, to encrypt some test file, but choose the key which is not displayed as a first one, but one of the following keys.
5. Double-click freshly created gpg file to dencrypt it.
6. Try to click any of the listed keys to select it - it is impossible. So it makes impossible to decrypt testing file.

I do not see any options to set sevierity for this bug, but it makes WinPT unusable under W7 x64, so I would say it is "critical". Please fix this, or provide an workaround.

I have provided screenshot with problematic window. If you need additional testing, just let me know, I will be glad to help!

This tracker is for problems of the site wald.intevation.org (the gforge based community portal that is) not for project specific problems.

In such a situation WinPT does not allow user to select his or hers key to decrypt/decipher. And user does not know password for other's private keys. This is seerious situation for me, as I it holds migration XP->Win7x64 in our company. We have already bought new PCs but we can not migrate users to new equipment and OS, because of this bug :( P.S. Is there a way to "Reply" to a comment in this bug tracker?
Date: 2012-07-22 18:53 Sender: Timo Schulz To sum it up: I am not sure if I understand your problem. If you encrypt a file with 3 recipients and you have the secret key for one of the selected keys, you will be able to decrypt the file. The "encrypted key list" is just for your convenience to see if the data was encrypted for other keys also. And if you have a secret key for _any_ of them, you will be able to decrypt the data. If you have several secret keys, it may be possible that a "random" key is used and not the first one in the list.
Date: 2012-07-22 18:48 Sender: Timo Schulz However, there seems to be a misunderstanding: WinPT _never_ supported to choose the decryption key in this dialog. It works like that: You send the data to GPG and it decides what secret key to use. Then WinPT asks for the passphrase of the _selected_ key and talks back to GPG. As a result, WinPT cannot influence the selection of the secret key.

Date: 2012-07-04 10:50 Sender: Patryk Benderz I have just spotted mistake in the subject. It was supposed to be "Unable to select any key..." I must have double stroke "t" and "y", but I am not able to edit this report, so I can't fix it.
