Description Richard Hartmann 2008-10-04 14:48:10 UTC

Version:           1.10.1 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-1-686

Reproduce:

* Use the search widget above email list
* CTRL-A
* Perform some action
* Clear search

At this point, all mail will be selected, not only the mail you selected initially. Note that the operation performed in step three, thankfully, applies only to mail selected at that time.

Still, this is a cause for major confusion and possibly data loss.

I am upping the severity to major as this can easily lead to data loss.

Comment 2 Martin Koller 2009-08-28 00:15:33 UTC

Does no longer happen in KDE 4.3 probably due to the rewrite of the message view list. closing.
