Description karl sebastian liebich 2008-01-25 16:26:41 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I change the font or font-size  (appearance->own font->message body) only the font of the header information is changed. (from/to/date/attachments) The body of the message is left unchanged.
Same when trying to change it in the toolbar when opening the message in an own window

Confirmed (with the enterprise branch and with trunk).
Happens only when using fixed font and when using a separate reader window.

Comment 2 karl sebastian liebich 2008-01-27 11:44:54 UTC

Here the missing compiler informations given by "report a bug":

KDE Version  1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) (KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 
4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
1  Application  E-Mail Client
1  Operating System  Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-generic
1  Compiler  Target: x86_64-linux-gnu

I want to emphasize that the error occures both in preview and separate 
Window.
I have kde4 parallel installed.

Not reproducible on current trunk r947715.

Comment 4 Dominik Tritscher 2009-04-10 23:39:11 UTC

Works fine in kmail 1.11.2 (KDE4.2.2), so I'm closing this bug.

Comment 5 Thomas McGuire 2009-07-09 12:59:32 UTC

Reopening, this still does not work when using a fixed font.

Comment 6 Martin Koller 2009-08-20 22:51:39 UTC

It works if you set the correct font: When using fixed width display, you need to change the fixed width font.
The message body font in this case will only change the headers.

> The message body font in this case will only change the headers.

Well that is exactly the bug.
The font size combobox should change the size of the body text, and not of the headers.
Or ideally, it would change both, like Ctrl+Mousewheel does, so it might be better to have shrink/enlarge font buttons there, instead of the two comboboxes.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
