2.Save using Encrypt with GPG Key

4.Enter passphrase for key

Response:-
The password is incorrect. The file cannot be opened.

I have re-set passphrase on key and retried - no difference.

Should have opened file in Calc


Reproducible: Always

Are you using 6.0.4 version to encrypt it or it was encrypted in a previous version of LibreOffice?
Comment 2 robinxcollins 2018-05-31 11:43:45 UTC 
This is a new installation with no previous LO packages.
Encryption has not been used before on any files.
New GPG key - it was originally 4096 bit RSA
I have tried with 2048 bit as well - same result
Comment 3 robinxcollins 2018-06-01 06:21:34 UTC 
UPDATE:-
The saved file format seems to have a bearing on this.
Save calc file using .ods
Check Encrypt with PGP
Select key file - file saved.
Open file and prompt box appears requesting passphrase for that key.
File opens as expected.
HOWEVER - that key then seems to remain cached as even after logout/in it is then possible to access the file without any passphrase prompt.

If instead the file is saved using .xls format, the passphrase box that appears on re-opening the file seems to be the one used by Password Protect, not the one that specifically mention the encryption key.

So it may be that you cannot encrypt files using an external PgP key unless they are odf - in which case that option should vanish if a non-odf format is selected.

However it should not be possible to re-open an encrypted file without a key prompt.

The remaining part (confusingly gpg encrypt is enabled) is duplicate to bug 121140.

The fact that passwords for GPG keys are cached for a while is a feature of the gpg agent, and can be configured there (default is something like 10 minutes).
