Description René Krell 2006-01-18 10:11:45 UTC

Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-4-default

Sometimes I shutdown KDE with Kontact running, if I logon again Kontact starts up in background (which is right). If I start Kontact by mistake again from the taskbar earlier that the automatically started instance I get a dialog box that another instance has been seen and whether to continue start or "Exit". If I push "Exit" BOTH instances of Kontact are killed. Is that the right behaviour?
May this is not a bug but a feature. Anyway, I would expect only one to be killed.

Thanx,
René

In my kde 3.5.0 kontact exits without notification, whenever a second instance is started, regardless of the time this is done.

Comment 2 Chris Gow 2006-10-28 21:37:14 UTC

Kontact still exits without confirmation in 3.5.5/kontact 1.2.3 Kubuntu 6.10 (edgy). In previous versions I recall getting the dialog. I would expect that the kontact instance that is running would be given focus. I would not expect kontact to exit

For sure seems a duplicate of bug 127110 as the kdepim bug-triage-day-crew found.
