Description
I'm just getting started with Keybase today, but there appears to be a bug with decrypting PGP content in the web app when copying the pgp text from the chat software and pasting it into the web app. The web app seems to have an issue with the version and comment and version text, specifically there appears to be an extra character after the comment line or line break right after. Deleting this extra character allows the web decryption to work.
Using the command line with the copied text works just fine.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the web app with PGP text copied from chat software, then compare it with the same text used on the command line. Trace how the web app handles the version and comment lines, including the extra character or line break. Done means copied PGP content decrypts without manual deletion while command-line decryption continues to work.
