Description Martin Tlustos 2014-10-24 11:25:20 UTC

when opening kontact while a document is being sent as email attachment and the email window is still open, kmail gets opened in a separate window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Libreoffice, create document, use "file - send - send as email attachment"
2. Email windows opens
3. now open kontact

Actual Results:  
kontact opens, but a separate kmail window is opened as well. When selecting any other component (korganizer, kaddressbook, etc.), kontact behaves normally, but when selecting kmail, the other window gets activated.

Expected Results:  
kmail should be opened within kontact.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
