Kleopatra Version 2.3.1 - Steps to Reproduce

If using Kleopatra on Windows 10 operating system and following standard use
case of File - New Certificate, select Create a Personal OpenPGP... option.
Fill in the Name, EMail, and leave Comment field blank. Click Advanced Settings
button. Go with defaults, but deselect the Signing checkbox as that checkbox is
optional in UI. Click Create Key. 
Result: Could not create certificate: General Error.

Retests: tested this with data in Comment field and without data in case any
entry I made was impacting the checkbox activity in parallel. Also tested
making changes to Date expiry and leaving at default. If I reselect the Signing
checkbox, the certificate creation process runs fine as normal, so just that
checkbox being deselected results in error. GPG4Win install is fine otherwise
and all other functions I need for now are executing fine both from Kleopatra
and command line windows.

I was testing this after running some tests in the command-line utility for
creation of separate sign-only certificates, so came across more by accident as
I would not normally deselect the Signing option when creating a New cert in
Kleopatra. I had checked the Bug database for older bugs and autolist when
logging this but not seeing a duplicate. Please discard if it is and sorry for
the noise it is a duplicate of an old bug.

I ran a test on two other versions as I initially thought it was the 2.3.1
version I installed today and that 2.3.1 was the problem, but it wasn't as
using Signing option everything works fine. I noticed the same error behavior
in the 2.3.0 release and the original older version I had: 2.2.6. Everything
was tested on Windows 10.

I have attached a document with 2 screenshots illustrating precondition and
failed cert creation result.
