Description Nicolas Dietrich 2011-09-17 19:56:43 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Using a shortcut for a formatting option from inside the composer, e.g. Ctrl-L for "strike through" activates formatting, in case formatting isn't already turned on. This seems to be designed as a feature, but is rather a bug.

Interestingly, the actual shortcut action (in this case "activate strike through") isn't performed.

Thanks for fixing!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure kmail composer starts in non-formatting mode.
2. Compose Email
3. Press Ctrl-L (shortcut for strike-through)

Actual Results:  
Formatting is turned on. Strike-through isn't activated.

Expected Results:  
Either of the following would be 

1. Nothing (okay)

2. Dialog popup stating: 'Using strike through only make sense when formatting option is turned on. Turning this option on results in email messages sent in HTML format. Do you want to turn formatting on? Yes / No' (preferred)

3. Turn on formatting and activate strike-through. (please don't, I keep on pressing this...)

This happens only after initially opening a composer in non-formatting mode, but not after manually deactivating the formatting option.
