Description Gunter Ohrner 2016-08-26 15:25:00 UTC

I sent an incident invitation using kOrganizer and one receipient sent a counter proposal.

I declined - and

Bug a) the declination message was sent to myself instead of the sender of the counter proposal

Bug b) the declination message looks garbled when displayed, containing escaped markup and missing closing brackets in text, see screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

I don't understand the whole invitation system, so I won't try to reproduce it myself. Didn't even know there was something like counter proposals.

Anyway, you set the version of this bug to master (so I assume it was a Frameworks-based version). Have you ever experienced this with a released version of KMail? If so, what is the most recent version you experienced this with? Is counter proposal handling still broken?

Is there some easy way to reproduce it?

Unfortunately, I gave up using kOrganizer for managing my calendar as it was barely usable due to the amount of bugs and it regularly caused me to miss appointments or somehow mess up specific calendar events beyond repair.

Thus I currently cannot help with those issues any more. From my point of view, event/appointment management would need a systematic review instead of "peephole fixes" driven by individual bug reports.

But of course I know KDE PIM has a developer shortage and most (all?) devs are working on the applications in their spare time, so I understand why this is not likely to happen.

The invitation stuff is rather complex with lots of different cases which need to be treated correctly, so automatic testing of a set of systematically created test cases would be really necessary. That's a lot of work of course, though... :-/
