Description Sabine Faure 2010-08-18 21:40:44 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

In the Composer dialogue there is no cursor by default. 
Typing text does not work at all until the user clicks either in the subject line edit or in the text editor.

I think, it will be more efficient to have the cursor in the subject area by default in the Composer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Click on the 'Write a new email' button


Actual Results:  
There is no cursor by default and it is impossible to type text

Expected Results:  
whereas it would be a lot more efficient if the cursor was in the Subject line edit by default.

I think the keyboard cursor/focus is never set in any view.
Maybe we should file a master bug describing this issue.

In general, kdepim-mobile applications on the N900 require two hands to use - I find it impossible to use it in "closed mode" (with the physical keyboard hidden) only, and impossible in "opened mode" without the help of my second hand or the pointer as well.

Imho, both should be possible.
