[Bug 808295] [NEW] When listing keys, --keyid-format option is ignored when --with-colons is used

[MestreLion]

Public bug reported:

The following commands output identical results:

gpg --list-keys  --with-colons
gpg --list-keys  --with-colons --keyid-format 0xshort

KeyID field is always shown with 16 digits (long format). --keyid-format is
being ignored.

However, without --with-colons, the keyID format is respected and the output is
correctly different:

gpg --list-keys
gpg --list-keys --keyid-format 0xshort

So --keyid-format is being ignored only when  --with-colons is used.

If this is by design, it should be in the documentation.
