Package: gpg-agent
Version: 2.2.40-1.1
Severity: Normal
Tags: sid

On Debian Sid gpg-agent (2.2.40-1.1) pinentry program grabs the keyboard
and mouse and once that happens, user is unable to switch the windows
using either keyboard or mouse. This can be especially annoying if you
have the password stored in a password-manager as you won't be able to
switch/open the password-manager application. The following options are
set in the `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf` file,

`use-agent`
`no-grab`

Still the pinentry program always grabs the focus and locks the keyboard
and mouse. Pinentry is set to pinentry-gnome3.

Window Manager being used is openbox (3.6.1-11 and others).
