I hope this is not too contorted.  I tried 3 keys, a RSA 2048
key created in 2012, a DSA 1024 key created in 2007, and a RSA 2048 key
created in 2019.  The "Import Key" menu option in Seahorse wont import
either a binary nor an armored (asc) version for any of these keys. For either 
key version of any key an error message pops up "The information in this key 
has not yet been verified" and underneath the message are the details of the 
key. In the upper right corner "Import" appears and clicking on it does 
nothing.  The key is not imported.

In the file manager window a double click of the asc version of the key
or using the menu choice "Open with Import Key" will import the key. A
message apperars "the key blaa blaa has been imported".  And infact it
has. With the binary version of the key "keyfile.pgp" nothing works, no
error message no nothing.  This binary version can be imported using a
terminal. As was noted in the other bug report, the sucessfully added
keys are only listed after Seahorse is stopped and restarted.

And finally Seahorse menu option "Export" will only export a binary
version of keys even thought one of the choices is to export the key as
an armored ".asc" version.

I hope this is clear and detailed enough.
