Description Sascha Peilicke 2009-08-14 20:20:43 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When a CollectionRequester object is created and initially disabled (via setEnabled(false)), the CollectionView inside the corresponding CollectionView remains disabled even after setEnabled(true). It seems that the changeEvent is not correctly propagated but so far I failed to find out why. The attached code can be used to reproduce the issue as seen on the (also) attached screenshot.

CC'ed Ingo Klöcker.

I actually meant:
"the CollectionView inside the corresponding CollectionDialog ..."

It is also noteworthy that this doesn't happen when Akonadi::CollectionView is used standalone or when used only through a Akonadi::CollectionDialog.

Comment 5 Ingo Klöcker 2009-08-17 23:42:47 UTC

I think it's better to ask on the kde-pim mailing list. Bugzilla is for users reporting defects, but not for developers reporting problems with the libraries.

Comment 6 Frederick Alexander Thomssen 2009-08-21 14:12:05 UTC

Actually, I (a user) reported it directly to Sascha instead of opening a bug report here. So it's not quite misplaced...

Comment 7 Sascha Peilicke 2009-11-03 12:15:28 UTC

it's confirmed by a testcase and user reports

Comment 8 Tobias Koenig 2010-06-20 15:51:29 UTC

Hej,

this problem is caused by the Akonadi::Control::widgetNeedsAkonadi() call in EntityTreeView. The logic in widgetNeedsAkonadi() seems not handle enable/disable states correctly.
Volker, can you have a look at it, please?

Ciao,
Tobias

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 10 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:21:20 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.
