Bug Description
Binary package hint: enigmail
While thunderbird/
This is very nasty, as it takes pinentry's focus away. I can't return to pinentry neither using Alt-Tab key combination nor using compiz, but only by clicking on the according area in the panel (in my case gnome do). Once returned to pinentry it has sent my partial passphrase back to GnuPG which of course resulted as wrong and I need to retype my passphrase. (see #515608)
enigmail shouldn't freeze thunderbird, both should wait for pinentry to return the passphrase.
This bug seems related to #150057, but in this case signing etc actually works without problems almost all the time, but sometimes usability becomes quite shortened. Only in some very rare cases all three attempts fail and I have to start all over again.
