I updated the software-properties packages to 0.92.37.5 from trusty-
proposed.

The bug is fixed!
I opened my own PGP key (I already have the VLC's key) in gedit and dragged everything into the authentication list. I was asked for polkit authorization and then the key was successfully added.

Title:
  Dropping a key into the list of keys fails

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Dragging a key into Software & Updates' authentication tab does
  nothing.

  [Test Case]

  1. Download a PGP key for a Debian repository (for example, the VideoLAN
     team's key: download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc)
  2. Open "Software & Updates" from the Dash, then select the Authentication
     tab.
  3. Open the PGP key file you downloaded with a text editor.
  4. Select all of the text (Ctrl+A) and drag it into the list in the
     Authentication tab of Software & Updates.

     If the bug is fixed: admin authentication is requested. Authenticate,
     and then the key should be listed.
     If not: nothing happens, or an error is displayed.

  [Regression Potential]

  This feature isn't working, so I suppose there is not regression
  potential.

  [Original Report]

  When I drag a key text/file and drop it into the list of keys in the
  "Authentication" list, it fails silently (sometimes an apport bug
  report appears), throwing an exception:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 759, in on_auth_drag_data_received
      keydata = selection.data.strip()
  AttributeError: 'SelectionData' object has no attribute 'data'
