Description squan 2010-01-08 20:14:10 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The mail folder context menu has the entry
  "Alle Nachrichten als gelesen markieren"
which may be
  "mark all messages as read"
in english.

On every start of kmail the accelerator for this entry is randomly assigned one of the three letters 'N', 'g' or 'a'.
This is confusing and no fun because I like to trust my accelerators blindly.

And I don't know if it's just luck that none of these three letters has ever been assigned to another action (did not happen to me until now).

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.
