Hi,

I've just imported my own, private openPGP key (which I have generated with Kleopatra) from file A into TB 78.4.0.

Then I have selected "Send public pgp key by email" and sent this key to another one of my email accounts. The file which I have received there, I have saved as file B.

Upon comparison, I have noticed that the file size of file B is by 14 bytes smaller than that of file A. Also, the first three characters in files A and B differ, and also the last 5 bytes differ between these two files. Everything in between, i.e. starting from character 4 up to to character (last-5) seems to be identical in A and B. Line length in file B is larger than that in file A.

Is this the expected behavior, and is the file B public key, which comes from TB, usable, even though it differs in size and content from the original file A? Or is this a bug?

Try using the public key with another account and see if it works or not.
