Description Manny 2015-10-28 17:19:00 UTC
The folder list expands fully on quick search and does not remember folded
states. The consequence is that I end up with an unmanageable list
of foldes in the folder list. The 'old' kmail behaved much better,
remembering folded states and not automatically unfolding to the searched
for place and below. Given the number of matches I have, pretty much
everything shows after most searches. Try entering 'e...', the e is rather common...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a large folder hierarchy list, fold it so only the top level shows.
2. Do a quick search to select a folder lower down (enter a few characters, start
    with a common one!)
3. Delete the characters, check folder list. It stays expanded, at least one
   level below the search.


Expected Results:  
I liked the kmail1 behavior. At least, it should revert to the pre-search
folded state!

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.
