Description Gunter Ohrner 2017-11-14 14:03:21 UTC

As kMail currently always defaults to the rich text editor and I could not find a way to change this default, I have to switch to plain text editor for each and every mail.

Unfortunately, after doing so, jumping into the message area using "tab" positions the cursur behind the signature instead of in front of it, as it is configured.

in 5.7.0 the editor defaults to 'plain text' again (for my settings at least).

I can, however, still reproduce this behaviour:
* open new E-Mail (editor opens in 'plain text' mode)
* add recipient and subject (optional)
* place cursor in editor (before the signature)
* switch to 'rich text' mode using the toolbar
* switch back to 'plain text' mode by pressing the toolbar button again.

The cursor is now placed behind the signature.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
