Version: 1.11.2 (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure kmail to use external editor to compose mail. 2. Compose new mail. 3. Press alt+f4 to close composer window. Expected result: Composer window should close. Actual results: External editor is opened.
I can still reproduce this bug on trunk r951326.
I've reported that on KMail-devel and I've been asked to create a bug here. However, I can see that it's a dup of this. This is my original report: ======== Hi, I just switched to KDE 4 recently. There is a small behavior that is different from kmail shipped with KDE 3 and that is quite annoying. I'm always using an external text editor to write my mails. I do this because I often have to review code, and it's much easier to do from vim. I'm also used to press Ctrl+Enter to then ship the message so I'm staying far away from my mouse. The problem is, when an external text editor is set, hitting the key 'Ctrl' now spaws the editor. In KDE 3, this was not the case. I could hit 'R' to first reply, then hit a key to enter the external editor, save & quit and then Ctrl+Enter was sending the mail. As a feature/bug request, I'd love to see the same behavior in KDE 4. In other words, I don't think that any keyboard modifier pushed alone should be able to spawn the external text editor. ======== You are seeing the same problem as me. A key modifier should not open the external editor. Making that fix will resolve both of our issues.
@Pascal: Can you please let me know the bug number of the bug you reported so that we can eliminate the duplicate and keep the bugzilla clean. :)
@Ruchir: I saw this bug before reporting my own. So I kindly appended my comment in order to safe an extra bugzilla id.. :)
@Pascal: Oh thats good.
