A quick question ❓...

So I'm almost positive I'm using Kleopatra correctly but I've ran into a problem twice now. I do miss the clipboard 📋 from previous versions of tails. So to encrypt a vndr's public PGP, I copy and paste said PGP into a blank text document 📃 and then save it. I then click import from the clipboard in Kleopatra and click on all files and that seems to import the public 🔐 PHP. But when I try to encrypt text, twice now I've been told it was indecipherable. So what's good?
