*** If I want to copy a message to a folder (right mouse button - Message - copy to folder), the popup window is killed as soon as I click on copy to folder. I cannot select a folder. *** SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Mark Message 2. Right click - copy or move message to 3. Popup window closes automatically (before you can even select a folder) OBSERVED RESULT Popup window closes automatically EXPECTED RESULT I should be able to select to folder to which I want to copy or move the message SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.0.3 (wayland) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Happens with me as well. Also when trying to move a message between folders: the menu disappears as soon as I try to move below the Recent Folder item.
plasma 6.0.5 frameworks 6.3.0 QT 6.7.1 In other words, not fixed
This bug is still there in kmail 6.1.2, frameworks 6.3.0. It's really frustrating. I have messages in folders I can't move or copy because of this.
Still exists in Plasma6.1.4 and applications 24.8.0. Side note Dragging a message to a folder works. It;s just a problem with the secondary menu.
Also seeing this with the menu, as mentioned in comment #6 it works fine when dragging the messages. Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Gear 24.08.0-1 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.7-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
This bug makes kmail extremely clunky to use and is new in Plasma 6. This behaviour is observed both when right clicking on a message and trying to get to a folder to copy or move to, or by starting from the menus in the menu bar -- Message -> Copy or Move Message To ... -> Anything in the folder list Operating System: Gentoo KDE Gear 24.05.2 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.7-gentoo-x86_64 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Since 24.08.1 it's got worse. Now I can't even use any of the Move Message To or Copy Message To entries, the menu just disappears as soon as the mouse is moved over these items. Previously at least the recently used folders items were accessible. Qt 6.7.2, frameworks 6.6.0, plasma 6.2.0.

Can confirm the problem with Fedora Linux 40: KMail 24.08.2 Qt 6.7.2 KDE Frameworks 6.7.0

FWIW, I still see this issue with Gear 24.11.80 beta with plasma and frameworks from git. It only seems to be the "copy to" and "move to" options in every window, msg list, mail body, folder list etc. I tested "copy to and move to" in other applications and it works as it should.

The issue seems to be related to the Wayland graphics platform. I switched back to X11, and moving messages works fine. Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.11.10-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
(In reply to Roland Brand from comment #16) > The issue seems to be related to the Wayland graphics platform. I switched > back to X11, and moving messages works fine. I can confirm this. There is no need to switch back to X11 for everything. Launching KMail the following way does the same trick: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /usr/bin/kmail See also: https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland#Forcing_KDE_apps_to_run_as_X11

I wonder if the "product" should be moved to wayland?
