Description m.wege 2010-07-15 23:55:21 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Adding a new messenger address is a bit confusing because is just "AIM". There is no indication that I have to click on it, to change the messenger type. So it may be better to show a "Select Messenger Type" instead of "AIM" there.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Git commit 3c31df07e12ef288e4b5f7484a2ccf52701da533 by Jonathan Marten.
Committed on 04/01/2012 at 12:20.
Pushed by marten into branch 'master'.

Improve appearance and operation of the IM address dialogue.

Instead of editing in place with an item edit delegate, use a
separate add/edit dialogue for the protocol and address.  The
item delegate is only used for showing the standard address
in bold.

Open the item editor dialogue on a double click, so those users
who are accustomed to the double click to change will not be
surprised.

Eliminates the confusion when a user clicks on "Add" and then
thinks "but I didn't ask for AIM, how do I change it?".
