In the current version I'm using (latest 1.8.1 package from Mandrake cooker), when opening a new composer, the second address field (which is also the first which is empty and available) is set by default to "To" which is better then in the above description (although its still a mess). Yes I fixed this during our PIM meeting in the netherlands, I will look into fixing the layouting as well so that the to gets on top of the bcc and thus is the first available field in the view. It would also be nice if <TAB> will skip the "clear" buttons (they are useful control elements to point a mouse at, but if you already have the cursor in the field and your hands on the keyboard, deleting is done more naturally by the keyboard), and possibly only move through the address field - skipping also the "to/cc/bcc" selectors. I think the initially bug has been fixed with 1.9.6 and/or I don't know how to reproduce it. The "Clear" button does not get skipped when TABbing. That should probably become an own entry or just get implemented in some minutes.. ;) I'm using 1.9.6 (although much less then in the past as the mail composer dialog is not nearly as useful as Evoltion's composer which - surprise - behaves like KMail 1.7's did). With 1.9.6 all the problems described above still exist, including tabbing through widgets that has no business being in the tabbing order. The second field's To vs Cc issue is funny - because apparently the second field is set to whatever it was set to when you last had a mail composer open: start a new mail and change the second field to Cc and close the composer (say "discard" to the close dialog), and open it again - its set to Cc still. Change it to To and close the composer, open it again and its set to To. quite interesting, but still useless - of course the first editable field should be To: when did you last sent an email where you first specified the Cc recipients and only later the To recipients ? I just checked in KMail 1.10.90 (KDE 4.2trunk) and some of the behaviour is still there. BCC is becoming the first textline again. The clear buttons however are now skipped on Tab. Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback. |
