As of version 3.1.24.221202 (22.12.2) I can't reproduce your issue, however I recall a similar problem occurring with the Flatpak version of Kleopatra. If that is the case it's likely to be a permission issue.
Comment 2 piedro 2023-02-19 14:25:12 UTC 
No, it's not flatpak but a fresh install of KDE openSUSE Tumbleweed....
Comment 3 Sz.Szabolcs 2024-03-15 22:02:06 UTC 
I managed to reproduce the issue and found a workaround: 
kleopatra started from Konsole (terminal) can generate the revocation key.
Version 3.1.28.240200 (24.02.0)
