Description Mark Stanton 2015-10-12 11:15:39 UTC

Version 4.14.9

On opening the "configure Kontact" dialogue the rest of the app is greyed out behind it, which is fine, it's a modal dialogue.
However, on closing the dialogue the app is *still* greyed out. It functions as usual but all grey.
Opening another  dialogue, like a bug reporting tool, clears the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I opened the "configure KMail" window (to set up accounts).
2. Created a new account, but cancelled rather than saving
3. Close configure dialogue

Actual Results:  
The app window remains very grey. It functions correctly. Switching between various "sub-apps" (contact, mail, calendar) doesn't clear the problem.

Expected Results:  
The main window should be restored to normal contrast.

This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12, preferably more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
