Formatting issue with pinentry-fltk?

I've recently switched from X11 (with I3) to Wayland (with Sway).  
Therefore, I've also switched from using pinentry-gtk2 to pinentry-fltk. 
  This is working for me.  However, I've noticed that the pinentry prompt 
is only showing the first part of my secret key?  Specifically, it shows 
something like this:

Please enter the passphrase to unlock the
OpenPGP secret key:
"Firstname LastName <userid
Passphrase:

Under pinentry-gkt2, it looked more like this:

Please enter the passphrase to unlock the OpenPGP secret key:
"Firstname Lastname <userid at domain.com>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
created 2024-05-13 (main key ID yyyyyyyyyyyyy).
Passphrase:

I'm curious if the truncated key information shown by pinentry-fltk is 
intentional?  Is there a way that I can configure pinentry-fltk to show 
all of the information that was shown by pinentry-gtk2?

Thanks,
Bryan
