Version: 1.12.2 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 168", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_Factory) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-10-desktop In composer, when I type addresses in the To:/CC:/Bcc: edit fields by typing the first letters of an address quickly and the drilldown with auto-completed addresses opens, the currently marked address from the auto-completion changes when additional matching results from an LDAP search come in. If I mark an entry and don't press enter to choose it before the LDAP matches come in occasionally, that entry is shift one or more positions towards the end, while the marking changes too (which is bad). For instance, assume typing "ab" in the To: field gives me three addresses in the offered dropdown: - abc@domain.com - abd@domain.com < chosen mark - abe@domain.com I choose the second one, abd@domain.com with the up/down keys. While that, additional entries are searched in background from LDAP. Now, assume there is an additional matching entry from the LDAP search: - aba@domain.com which is inserted at the beginning of the drilldown box. Thus, the drilldown list is now: - aba@domain.com - abc@domain.com < new mark - abd@domain.com - abe@domain.com Currently, the original marking of abd@domain.com gets lost and the "new" second entry, abd@domain.com, is marked instead, which is confusing. I would expect the entry I marked already to stay marked in that case, and the mark is shifted together with the entry.
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
