SUMMARY When I attempt to change KMail's settings/preferences, either by invoking the "Configure KMail..." command from the Settings menu or by pressing the keyboard shortcut, KMail hangs with 100% CPU (one core) and I have to SIGKILL it. This behavior started to occur after my recent upgrade from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Upgrade a KDE neon system to Plasma 6. 2. Start KMail. 3. Invoke "Configure KMail..." from the Settings menu. OBSERVED RESULT KMail becomes unresponsive and occupies 100% of one CPU core. EXPECTED RESULT The config dialog should appear. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-25-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 23,2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20L8S02D00 System Version: ThinkPad T480s ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've created a new user and logged in as this user. Even when I start KMail and dismiss the onboarding dialog (i.e., no accounts are configured), I am unable to invoke the config dialog. So it's not something about my personal configuration (which has seen several upgrades so far), it must be something about this system's general setup. Maybe this helps to identify the issue.
Hello, I can confirm that there is a defect with the configuration of Kmail2 in kontact-24.02.1-kf.236.3.x86_64 (which I have noticed after a move from Qt5 to Qt6 and thus Plasma5 to Plasma6 on GNU/Linux Opensuse Leap + Stable KDE repos.) I notice a long delay in opening the configuration dialog (like 8 seconds) then I often get dialogs about to confirm a change in the configuration (which does not make sense as I did not yet do a change). Additionally changes are not recorded, as I wanted to make the change that is shown here: https://wiki.gnupg.org/EMailClients/KMail and closing the dialogs for good, after I open them again, the change was lost. Once I've got a crash as well. I raise the priority because and email client where configuration cannot be done or is lost is hard to impossible to use.
the about dialog of Kontact says 6.0.1, while the package is 24.02.1-kf.265.4.
As this also affects settings for crypto, I've created a sister report at https://dev.gnupg.org/T7081 .
you need last ktextaddons package for it. Regards
