Description Frédéric COIFFIER 2009-07-15 15:47:10 UTC

Version:           4.3.0 rc2 (using KDE 4.2.96)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.3-r2 p1.2, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.3
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I can't modify toolbars of KMail or Akregator (not tested with other components). I can modifiy toolbars with 'Configure toolbars'. My configuration is correctly stored as when I close/reopen Kontact, my configuration is still present in `Configure toolbars'.
Unfortunately, my toolbar configuration is never taken in account.

(My kontact configuration was upgraded from KDE 4.2.4.)

Comment 1 Radu Benea 2009-07-17 12:21:35 UTC

works for me KMail
Version 1.12.0
Using KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2))
Akregator
Version 1.4.50
Using KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.2.96 (KDE 4.3 RC2))
Kontact
Version 4.3.0 rc2

I mean each individual application has it's own set of toolbars, kmail and akregator when run standalone keep their configuration

and also when running kontact the view toolbars are remembered, it's just kontact doesn't import the toolbars from when running the applications standalone into it's view (I believe this is the expected behaviour, but I'm not sure)

tried each multiple times and worked always

however ocasionally these applications crash after clicking on quit from the system tray after doing these operations

Comment 2 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2009-07-17 12:28:59 UTC

Frédéric please can you try with a new account?

If it's the same in a new account, can you try on KMail standalone?

Comment 3 Frédéric COIFFIER 2009-07-17 14:02:51 UTC

With my current account, I can't reproduce the problem with the standalone KMail.

For Kontact, I found a workaround : if I click on 'Defaults' button, I'm now able to customize the toolbar.

(But 'Defaults' button has a strange effect on the dialog layou : screenshot in attachement)

'Defaults' button modified the layout of the dialog box

Comment 5 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:21:25 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:02:41 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
