Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux In threaded mode (I have no idea if this also happens in non-threaded mode), KMail will sometimes redraw the message list improperly. Steps to reproduce: - Open a mail folder (say, an IMAP folder). Display a message in that folder in the preview pane. - Turn on interval mail checking for that folder. - Send yourself a new mail, which will be dropped in that folder (e.g. by procmail) - Wait for KMail to fetch new mail (including the one being delivered to the folder you're currently viewing). - *WHILE* KMail is fetching mail, display a different message in that folder in the preview pane. Expected outcome: - The message list will redraw, however, only the tree lines will be visible -- the text (e.g. subject, sender, etc.) and icons will disappear. I recommend trying this with the folder holding your kde-commits@ email, and with a mail interval of 1 minute. You'll be thoroughly annoyed after a few rounds of this. ;) I don't know if this is a style-specific bug or not (I normally use the Comix style) -- I tried reproducing it several times using Plastik, but the mail check happens much faster (!) and I haven't yet been able to switch in time.
I finally reproduced this bug on another style (namely Baghira). So it's not Comix's fault.
Hmmm, can't reproduce this one anymore, so since I'm the only one who seems to have noticed, I'm going to go ahead and close the bug.
