           Summary: When signing the pinentry dialog flickers for a few
                    seconds and then signing fails
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: encryption
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: teke at math.su.se


Version:           1.13.5 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to send a message marked for signing, the pinentry dialog box
flickers very quickly for a few seconds (so quickly so that I can only see its
title) and then I get a dialog "Signing failed: Bad passphrase". If I try
pinentry on the command line it works (I just give it the command GETPIN).

(I am not sure that I really use SVN or Snapshot Version. KDE reports itself as
having version 4.4.5 and I have picked it up from kubuntu-ppa.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new mail and click Sign.
2. Send mail.

Actual Results:  
Pinentry dialog box flickers back and forth between visibility and invisibility
for a few seconds.

Expected Results:  
Dialog should show so that I can input password of GPG key.
