Description Sabine Faure 2010-09-16 18:17:09 UTC

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

If for whatever reason akonadi server stops than the user cannot quit Kmail-mobile as there is no quit button accessible and the whole screen becomes black.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Stop akonadi server (from a terminal for example)


Actual Results:  
Kmail-mobile main screen becomes dark and there an error message and a 'Start' button to restart Akonadi server.

There is no quit button and the user cannot minimize the app to close it either.

Expected Results:  
It would be a lot better to have a quit button there or to be at least able to minimize the app to close it if needed in case Akonadi server is completely broken and restarting if not sufficient.

SVN commit 1210266 by tokoe:

Add a 'Quit' button to error overlay

In mobile UI mode there will be a Quit button available
in the error overlay to quit the application. This is
necessary if the server fails to restart and the error overlay
therefor won't vanish.

BUG: 251473

Screenshot of the new error overlay with Quit button

Hej Sabine,

the error overlay contains a 'Quit' button now which will close the application.

Ciao,
Tobias

Hi Tobias!

It is only partly corrected I am afraid.

Here are the different possible cases:

1. Akonadi server stops unexpectingly and the user wishes to quit Kmail-mobile. => She then uses the 'Quit' button that you added.

2. The user clicks on 'Start' button and Akonadi server is relaunched successfully and the user resumes using Kmail-mobile. 
=> She does not need to use the 'Quit' button. 

3. The user clicks on 'Start' button but Akonadi server is not relaunched successfully. Only a 'Details...' button is displayed and the user cannot minimize the application to close it (see attachement enclosed). 
=> The user could really use a 'Quit' button is this last case.

Because of this I am reopening this bug.

Here are more detailed steps to reproduce this bug:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Stop akonadi server (from a terminal for example)
- Kmail-mobile main screen becomes dark and there an error message and a 'Start' and 'Quit' button
- Click on the 'Start' button (if Akonadi server restarts properly repeat stopping it and starting it until it does not)
- The main screen becomes dark again with a 'The Akonadi personal information management service is not operational' message and only a 'Details...' button

The user cannot quit Kmail-mobile in that case even by minimizing the application so a 'Quit' button there would be really useful.

Comment 6 Sabine Faure 2011-01-14 21:30:20 UTC

Hi Tobias!

It is corrected now.

The 'Quit' button is now available under the 'Details...' button and allows the user to quit Kmail-mobile if the restart of Akonadi was unsuccessful.

So I am closing this bug.
