Description Andreas Kahnt 2010-03-30 08:22:40 UTC
Version:           4.4.1 (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

kontact, addressbook:
- categories missing
- change of visible name does not change display name in address field (small bug)
- cannot delete phone numbers to less than three
- modal dialogs are unconvenient for information adjustment between address entries
- switch focus to a search field: if at this moment the string is completely selected it would improve usability => to enter a new search string there is no need for a special action to delete the old content
- mark found search string in contact display make it easier to know why a special contact is displayed
- focus handling inconsistent: input search string, enter, arrow-down ==> nothing visual happen (*1), next arrow-down => select next contact entry. Expectation: first arrow down should select the next entry. *1: if selection doesn't change and a contact below the first is already selected, the first contact becomes selected with the first arrow-down - expectation: reselect to the first contact when search is executed and the old selection is defunct

mail:
- switch mail by keyboard is inconsisten: arrow-up/-down if focus in mail selection frame (upper right) or mailbox tree frame (left) does not select between mails/boxes. Expectation: if focus in that frame arrow-up/-down should move selection in that frame. Focus should turned round with tab key.
If focus is not in a frame where arrow-up/-down makes sense, the current handling of arrow and page keys is good. Tab key should reduce to frame and menu/function handling

kalendar:
- focus/keyboard handling needs lot of improvement

Happy hacking,
Andi

Sorry but we can't treat bug reports with countless unrelated things inside (also valid for bug 232579).

Can you post your ideas to the kdepim-users mailing list and close these two reports please ?

I'll do that - but why do you offer "wishlist"?
