If I drag and drop images from Chromium to the kMail editor, the mouse cursor will indicate that the image could be dropped, but if I drop it, nothing happens. I would expect the image to be added as an attachment. Likewise, if I copy the URL and paste it into the message editor, I get a popup menu asking if the URL should be pasted as text or the referenced file be added as an attachment. If a chose "Add file as an attachment", also nothing happens. I would also expect the referenced file to be added as an attachment - just as the text in the popup menu says... I know there was a similar bug for pasting the URL as text IIRC which was actually caused by a bug in the underlying Qt libs and was fixed using a workaround. Unfortunately, I was not able to find this bug again. Possibly, this bug's cause is related and the "attach URL" code would need a similar workaround? Reproducible: Always
Uhm, application versions: * kMail 5.0.3 from KDE Applications 15.08.3 (There do not appear to be more recent binaries for (k)Ubuntu.) * Qt 5.5.1
5.0.3 is very old. In 5.1.x when we dnd we insert url in composer so it seems ok now
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #2) > 5.0.3 is very old. > In 5.1.x when we dnd we insert url in composer so it seems ok now nope, does'nt work with 5.1.3
For me, kMail 5.1.3 inserts the image URL as text and some character garbage (URL-encoded UTF-16 as ASCII, or something, see below...) It does not ask whether to paste the address as text or to attach the actual file. If I now copy the image URL in chrome (right-click -> copy image url) and paste it into the editor, it just pasts the URL string and does not ask if it should add the linked file as an attachment instead. (IIRC it did so in previous kMail versions.) All stated holds for the plain text editor. (I do not use the HTML / richt text editor.) Software: kMail Version 5.1.3 KDE Frameworks 5.18.0 Qt 5.5.1 (kompiliert gegen 5.5.1) Das xcb Fenstersystem Example: If I go to http://www.ohrner-it.com/ and drag the company logo on the top left of the page to the plain text editor, the following will be pasted (the text between the lines): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ohrner-it.com/images/logo.png %00O%00h%00r%00n%00e%00r%00 %00I%00T%00 %00G%00m%00b%00H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This looks quite wrong to me...
Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!
(In reply to Justin Zobel from comment #5) > If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when > replying. Thank you! Due to too many bugs in kMail some years ago I stopped using it and switched to Thunderbird. I was not happy to have to make that choice, but since then at least I didn't lose access to my mails any more because some maintenance update does not work at all - as it happened more than once with kMail unfortunately. :-( So I cannot re-test.

Re-tested with KMail Version 5.21.2 (22.08.2) KDE Frameworks Version 5.99.0 Qt Version 5.15.7 (kompiliert gegen 5.15.6) Das Fenstersystem xcb It still does not work: * Dragging an image from Chrome into the text editor does nothing. The mouse cursor indicates that the image can be dropped ("plus" symbol), but this does not work. * Pasting the URL meanwhile only adds the URL, the popup mentioned on the original report does not seem to exist any more. This may not be a bug, but just a change in behaviour. * Copy-Pasting the image from Chrome into the editor does not add the actual image, just a tiny "paper sheet" icon - no idea what's that supposed to mean, but pasting the image does not work.
