Description Unknown 2012-07-06 02:18:17 UTC 
When the Quick Search Bar is enabled, the sizes of its elements are suboptimal. The search field is very small, while the category drop-down bar is very long:

When the Quick Search Bar is turned off (Ctrl+H), the message list column gains wide margins on either side:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Observer the Quick Search Bar.
2. Press Ctrl+H to show/hide the bar, and observe the large margins.


Expected Results:  
The search field should occupy most of the width, while the dropdown should be small. When the Quick Search Bar is hidden, the message list should not gain margins.

Comment 8 Unknown 2012-07-06 16:36:15 UTC 
Regarding the first issue... yes, in fact, I do have a very long item in this list. When I imported a calendar file from Google calendar, all items included a long category string containing some pointer to a Google schema. I deleted that category in KOrganizer, but this category appears to have also made its way into KMail. Need to find out how to delete it from there, too.
Comment 9 Unknown 2012-07-06 19:27:48 UTC 
Found it. When I deleted that long-string category and restarted KMail, the search field became much wider and the button shrank.

Thanks for the tip, and for fixing the bug in the second issue.
