[Description]
I try to encrypt using caja-seahorse with 1 key selected (key A) but file encrypted with 2 keys (key A+B) .

Key A I have only a public key.
Key B I have both private and public key.
I try to encrypt with public key A, But the file encrypted with both public key A and B.
So that file can decrypt on my omputer with public key B.

[Result for gpg decrypting command]
$ gpg -n --output a.zip --decrypt a.zip.pgp
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID XXXXXXXXXX, created 2016-10-27
      "<email address hidden> <email address hidden>"
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID XXXXXXXXXX, created 2019-03-18
      "XXXXXXXXXX <email address hidden>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled

Use gpg from cli instead of using caja-seahorse.
