I've noticed that when you generate a new address in Wasabi, it shows the address' public key next to the QR code. This gives your counterparty an easy opportunity to take a picture of that public key.

Obviously one person seeing one public key isn't the end of all your privacy, but (extra quantum protection aside) is there any privacy and/or security disadvantage to your counterparty learning the public key of the address they're sending to?

Thank you
Public keys is not alarming, i have seen where by a friend received bitcoin with public key and somehow he claimed it, the only thing you must safe from the public is your private keys
