Description Sune Vuorela 2007-02-13 21:24:43 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Originally sent as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334956

In many window decorations, the a newline in the title line is shown as a newline.  When pasting something with newlines in the subject line of a email, this string with newlines are shown in the title line of the composer window.

As it is only some window decorations that shows this behaviour, I think it can be fixed in the window decorations, but most of the window decorations I have installed does show this behaviour. I think it would be easiest to fix it in kmail and to have it do a s/\n/ / before setting the title line.

A patch to this will be attached quickly.

The debian bugreport contains a couple of screenshots.

Since newlines display as blocks, remove them from a possible caption before display.
