Description Wolfgang Rohdewald 2011-09-26 14:00:28 UTC 
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

after deleting a filter with a shortcut, I cannot reassign the shortcut to another filter right away - it is claimed to be still in use. I have to close/reopen the filtering dialog first

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
see above

Actual Results:  
error "shortcut is in use"

Expected Results:  
assigning the shortcut should be possible

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-11-generic
Compiler: gcc

Do you click on "Apply" ?
I can't reproduce it after click on apply
Regards
Comment 2 Wolfgang Rohdewald 2011-09-26 16:44:32 UTC 
no, I did not "Apply" - I would have expected that changes are respecting previous unapplied changes. Imagine renaming two different filters to the same new name. If the second rename ignores the first rename, you have two filters with the same name. Well - I just tried, this is a bad example, it seems to be legal for two filters having the same name. To me that seems like another bug.

But anyway if a change ignores previous unapplied changes, you cannot have clean transactions. Are you sure this cannot lead to corruption - not even in the future when the source code is changed without thinking about this potential problem?

BTW I am seeing lots of problems with searching mails in kmail2 (4.7.1), I could easily open half a dozen bug reports. Is that what I should do or should I first go to some IRC channel (which one?)
Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2011-09-26 17:14:50 UTC 
For me if you want to change a filter you must apply. otherwise it's not change.


For searching email there is still a lot of bug but you can create bug report. I will look at them.
Regards.
Comment 4 Wolfgang Rohdewald 2011-09-26 17:29:37 UTC 
if I must apply between changing different filters, there should be a question like

"There are unapplied changes. Do you want to apply them now or throw them away?"

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:08:50 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
