Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) OS: Linux KMail2 4.5 SVN 20100811 When trying to use KMail2 without using the mouse a lot, there's a showstopper when using the move/copy to feature - filtering the list of folders by just starting to type doesn't work without an additional click in the folderlist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a message in the message list 2. Push m (move to) or c (copy to) 3. Start typing to filter the list of folders as advertised by the shown dialog Actual Results: The message list is not filtered. It only works when pressing TAB once or clicking somewhere in the list of folders below. Expected Results: Being able to start instantly typing after opening the dialog.
According to dfaure, this was fixed in trunk by till, so a backport to 4.5 is needed.
My changes went into 4.5 branch first, actually. Type ahead filtering works fine there, for me, I use it a gazillion times a day :). What exactly does not work for you, do you get the search string shown in parenthesis, like so: (lettersyoutyped), after you tab'ed into the listview?
