Description metrol 2006-10-10 21:20:38 UTC

Version:           1.9.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 6.2-PRERELEASE

This is a little different from the other bugs I've seen about the sort order.  In this case, I added "Status" to the visible columns, then slid it all the way to the left.  Upon committing any change to KMail's settings the "Status" column jumps back to the right side.

The expected behavior here would be any custom change to column ordering or sorting should not be affected by changes to KMail's settings.

Minor correction here.  It seems that the columns order themselves to however they were set at the time KMail starts up, rather than just defaults.

Comment 3 Adrian von Bidder 2009-03-06 14:00:11 UTC

For me, the "Watched/Ignore" column I've added is at the right whenever I start kmail.  I then move it to the left and try not to quit kmail as long as possible.

This is kmail 1.11.1 from Debian's kmail 4:4.2.1-1 packages (experimental), using the "standard mailing list" aggregation with the "classic" theme.

Also I've not found how exactly this is set per folder.  By default it seems to be a global setting.  Not sure if this is an actual bug, a suboptimal UI design or just plain user stupidity.

cheers

I have the same problem here. Ich change the column order and uppon restart of kmail its reset. This is VERY annoying.

Comment 5 Björn Ruberg 2010-02-15 13:12:20 UTC

Seems to work in KDE 4.3.5

Comment 6 Adrian von Bidder 2010-06-08 08:17:46 UTC

Errm.  Can somebody re-open this?  Debian 4.4.4: the position of the "Watched/Ignored" column is never remembered, when I start kmail, it's always back to the default and I have to move it to where iI want it.

Could this be Qt related?  Debian has 4.6 (Package version 4:4.6.2-4, kdepim is 4:4.4.4-1)

Or should I open a new bug?

cheers
