            Bug ID: 354513
           Summary: drop comment field from "new User ID" dialog and  from
                    OpenPGP Certificate Creation Wizard
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: aheinecke at intevation.de
          Reporter: dkg at fifthhorseman.net

Kleopatra exposes a "Comment" field when creating new OpenPGP certificates, and
when adding a new User ID.    Please do not expose it to normal users.

There are very few people who legitimately need this Comment field, and those
people can use the command line or some expert mode. In practice, the presence
of this field encourages people to fill it in with information that is at best
useless clutter.

For more rationales why, see:

Reproducible: Always
