Description Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2015-07-29 08:24:19 UTC

When opening a mail attachment that is e.g. xlsx, odt, ... which then opens LibreOffice, the KMail UI freezes until LibreOffice is closed again. This also happens with PDF attachments and the KF5 version of Okular.

(compiled git sources from yesterday)

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2015-07-29 11:52:28 UTC

I confirm it.
I don't have idea yet.

Comment 2 Gunter Ohrner 2015-09-02 15:22:46 UTC

I can also confirm this.

Additionally, I get an error dialog after closing LibreOffice with the title "Sorry" and the message text: "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kioexec'".

Comment 3 Gunter Ohrner 2015-09-02 15:23:34 UTC

Maybe this bug's status could be changed to "CONFIRMED" if also Laurent was able to reproduce it?

Comment 4 Johannes Studt 2015-09-08 19:25:56 UTC

Confirmed.

This happens with all attachments. The attachment opens, the UI is blocked.
After closing the attachment the error message "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kioexec'" is displayed.

Comment 6 Gunter Ohrner 2015-09-15 10:42:02 UTC

Thanks, works!

Programs started by kMail to open attachments now display their window behind the kMail main window - can this have something to do with the way the application is invoked? Before, the viewer windows was displayed in front of the (blocked) kMail window.

Comment 7 Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2015-09-17 06:30:58 UTC

@Gunter: at least I cannot reproduce this behavior (invoked application behind kmail main window) on my system and the patch's changes should not cause such a behavior.
If the problem remains, please open a new bug report. Otherwise, your issue might be overlooked, here at the backlog of a fixed bug report.
Cheers, Andreas
