I hate the thought of you regressing to v1.4.21  (-;
The high road it is.

To allow gpg-agent|pinentry|claws to play nicely together the TTY being
used has to be defined.

Edit ~.bashrc (or the appropriate file if you are using a different
shell)
add the lines:

GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY

Run the commands or log-out and back-in.
There should now be no issue with signing in claws even if agent is
running.
