Good point.

In the development branch, I'm currently working for multiple card/token
support (currently only with internal CCID driver).  And I also happened
to notice this difference this month.

Now in the repo (master), signing and decryption work well with multiple
card/token and a user is prompted when there is no relevant card/token.

This is just a lucky coincidence, but I'm glad to see the development of
GnuPG goes well.

Thank you for your support of GnuPG.  Your support encourages me
(hopefully, all of us) fixing bugs and adding feature(s).
