Version:           1.6 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)

OS:          Linux

hi,

sending a new mail while forgetting the receiver and/or the subject, a warning appears. clicking "ok" (or the like) the composing window is minimized and hidden. this is very confusing.

expected behavior:
after the warning the mail should be shown again with the cursor standing in the missing field!

Is the composer window really minimized or is it just moved behind the main window? Simply minimize the main window to find out.

If it's just moved behind the main window (which I can reproduce) then this is just another victim of the focus stealing prevention (of kwin) and most likely a duplicate of bug 72869.

Hmm, it helps if we actually pass the parent window (instead of 0) to KMessageBox::information. We have to check all other uses of KMessageBox for the same mistake.

This will be fixed in KDE 3.2.1.
