Version: 1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45" , openSUSE 10.2) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default I wanted to lower the font size for the newly message text in the window "create messages". But doing the according setting (in kmail setting - apparence - use own fonts - create message) does not change the message text at all. Instead it changes the text in the subject field. (I have a german KDE, the original descriptions may differ from what I used here.)
I played a bit with the font settings and the apply button and found that the first apply did not apply anything. Changing another thing and pressing "apply" a second time applies the first change, changing a third setting, "apply" applies the second one and so forth. To get the last change applied I had to close the settings with "ok", alternatively close it with "cancel", reopen it and close it with "ok".
Can not reproduce with kmail/KDE4.3
