Hi all, thanks for setting up the more user-friendly support forums, firstly!

Anyways, I'm currently running the binaries from the latest installer bundle (GPGTools-20111114.dmg) and GPG Keychain Access just updated itself today to 1.0b2. OS version is 10.7.2 but the behaviour has also been observer on Snow Leopard (10.6.8 specifically).

Problem: within GPG Keychain Access when right-clicking on a public key and selecting "Sign..." the operation fails silently. Previous versions would launch a shell window running the "gpg --sign-key " command and await user input.

The following output is observer in /var/log/system.log when this occurs:
