[Gpg4win-users-en] An error occurred while trying to add the user-id: General error

[Ken]

Two minor things I have noticed playing with Kleopatra:

(1) When the system requires PIN entry it does not let me Paste (i.e.
no right-click or Ctrl-V).  Pasting would be useful as I store very
long pass-phrases in a password safe on a USB drive and are tedious to
type.
(2) When I select "Change Passphrase" and then hit Cancel at the
Pin-entry stage, the dialoge box sayts "Passphrase successfully
changed" although it has not been.
