Description
When generating a GPG Key using a name with parens (i.e. "Yuuki Shishome (Company)") the CLI correctly stops you and forces a real name without parens. However, the GUI does not and will fail silently in the background while it "generates your GPG key" infinitely in the background.
I am reporting this because I was sworn to.
