Description Diggory Hardy 2010-09-29 18:01:46 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes when I try to quickly select and move messages (from message pane), kmail detects the action as a double-click and opens the message.

Example 1: I want to move to messages to another folder. One is already selected. I press Ctrl, select the other, release Ctrl, click on one of the two and start dragging.
Example 2: I want to select two additional messages. I hold Ctrl, and click on each in turn.

Solutions:
1. Require mouse button to have also been released before accepting as a double-click. Fixes example 1 but not 2.
2. Require all four click/release events to occur while the mouse pointer is over the same item (or perhaps close to the location of the first item). Fixes both examples.

Reproducible: Didn't try

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.
