Description
Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.40-20180205105656+493a528
Select "Get a new PGP key", fill in the full name and some emails, then press "Let the math begin" (there is nothing indicating the generation progress, even no animated circle or a grayed-out button, only the CPU usage raised), after a few seconds the app let me input the passphrase of the keybase account, then I input the correct one, and the app shows a "disconnected" info.
Tried serval times, all resulting a "disconnected" problem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the PGP key-generation flow in the Windows desktop app using the steps in the report. Observe the transition from “Let the math begin” through passphrase entry and the resulting “disconnected” state; done means key generation completes without that failure and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
