Description Tuomas Suutari 2009-07-31 17:17:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When a KMessageBox includes this checkbox to
hide the same question now on, it is not clear
what will be the answer to following unshown
questions. (I guess it is the same as I answered
last time.) Maybe the text "Do not ask again"
should be something like "Do not ask again and
use this answer now on" to make it clearer.

The string is not hardcoded in KMessageBox, but is set by the application that opens the box, which means that you should probably file a wish report for the application where you'd like to see the text changed.

Apparently, that's a bit inconsistent: Konsole does it as you say (when closing a Konsole with several tabs), but if you close a Konqueror window with several tabs and check the box, Konqueror will close the window (and not the current tab) the next time, even if you clicked "Close current tab".

I somehow like the Konqueror approach more because it's quite unintuitive if a tab is closed when you click the window's close button IMHO. But maybe the text should really be changed to make it more obvious what happens.
