Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In Configure KMail->Appearance->Fonts, the user can select a font style to apply to Quoted Text at the first, second, and third levels. When the "Apply to:" drop-down box is set to one of these options, the "Font:" and "Size:" lists are greyed out, while the "Font style:" list and the "Size:" spinner are left active. (See attached screenshot.) This does not make sense. Why is the "Size:" spinner active while the "Size:" list is inactive? Either the user should be able to set the font size here, or he should not be able to. Both widgets should be greyed out, or both widgets should be active. I suggest that both widgets should be active. KMail recently introduced a setting to decrease the font size of quoted text (Appearance->Message Window->Use smaller font for quoted text); however, this setting does not allow the user to specify how much the text should be reduced. On my system, for example, enabling this option causes quoted text to be reduced so much that it's not easy to read. Why not get rid of this checkbox and simply allow the user to select the font size for quoted text in the Fonts tab?

This seems to be a bug in KFontChooser::enableColumn() - there you can disable column SizeList, what is done in AppearancePage::FontsTab::slotFontSelectorChanged(). But disabling column SizeList disables just sizeListBox and not size does not disable sizeOfFont...

Ok, I sent it, it is reviewed, marked "ship it" and I commited it in svn trunk. But I have no power to mark the bug RESOLVED...
Thanks, marking as resolved.
