Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: debian unstable g++ OS: Linux write email, go to tools->spell check, change language (in my case from polish to British English), there is small message box visible for split second, it steals away focus, but you cannot see it. Press ESC to close it, and kaboom. This looks like Qt problem to me, so FYI, KDE 3.2/KMAIL from CVS (version from 2004-02-23). Qt-copy from HEAD.

This crash is reproducible with KWrite (from KDE 3.2.x). So it's most likely a KSpell bug. I got the following backtrace with KMail HEAD on KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, but the backtrace I got with KWrite is exactly the same (in the first 10 frames or so): [New Thread 16384 (LWP 2802)] 0x416fd387 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x416fd387 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x40a38e43 in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) (sig=11) at /home/ingo/cvs/kde/3.2/kdelibs/kdecore/kcrash.cpp:246 #2 0x416fc1ec in __pthread_sighandler () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #3 <signal handler called> #4 0x40f2e3df in QComboBox::currentText() const (this=0xbfffeb10) at widgets/qcombobox.cpp:887 #5 0x40f30d31 in QComboBox::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent*) (this=0xa3252d8, e=0xbfffeb10) at widgets/qcombobox.cpp:1487 #6 0x40ecb2e9 in QWidget::event(QEvent*) (this=0xa3252d8, e=0xbfffeb10) at kernel/qwidget.cpp:4438 #7 0x40e3087d in QApplication::internalNotify(QObject*, QEvent*) ( this=0xbffff080, receiver=0xa3252d8, e=0xbfffeb10) at kernel/qapplication.cpp:2582 #8 0x40e30258 in QApplication::notify(QObject*, QEvent*) (this=0xbffff080, receiver=0xa3252d8, e=0xbfffeb10) at kernel/qapplication.cpp:2402 #9 0x409af7dd in KApplication::notify(QObject*, QEvent*) (this=0xbffff080, receiver=0xa3252d8, event=0xbfffeb10) at /home/ingo/cvs/kde/3.2/kdelibs/kdecore/kapplication.cpp:506 #10 0x40dc74d5 in QApplication::sendSpontaneousEvent(QObject*, QEvent*) ( receiver=0xa3252d8, event=0xbfffeb10) at kernel/qapplication.h:495 #11 0x40dc0d9c in QETWidget::translateWheelEvent(int, int, int, int, Qt::Orientation) (this=0xa3252d8, global_x=511, global_y=641, delta=-120, state=0, orient=Vertical) at kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp:4374 #12 0x40dc0495 in QETWidget::translateMouseEvent(_XEvent const*) ( this=0xa3252d8, event=0xbfffef70) at kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp:4175 #13 0x40dbe99a in QApplication::x11ProcessEvent(_XEvent*) (this=0xbffff080, event=0xbfffef70) at kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp:3529 #14 0x40dd862e in QEventLoop::processEvents(unsigned) (this=0x80d85e8, flags=4) at kernel/qeventloop_x11.cpp:192 #15 0x40e462ea in QEventLoop::enterLoop() (this=0x80d85e8) at kernel/qeventloop.cpp:198 #16 0x40e46206 in QEventLoop::exec() (this=0x80d85e8) at kernel/qeventloop.cpp:145 #17 0x40e309fd in QApplication::exec() (this=0xbffff080) at kernel/qapplication.cpp:2705 #18 0x0805c815 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff224) at /home/ingo/cvs/kde/head/kdepim/kontact/src/main.cpp:159 #19 0x41840857 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

As this bug is still present I'm wondering how many more releases I can not spell-check my emails if ispell does not happen to already be in the correct language. :( I changed the priority to vhi since this affects a _lot_ of applications for all us that speak more then one language.
KMail seems to have worked around this by providing a "Dictionary" drop-down list in the message composer. However, other KDE applications such as KNode lack this feature.

Problem persists with KDE 3.5.1 and knode 0.10.1. There is also a similar problem with KMail. Maybe the two bugs are related.

I'd say bug 73074 is a dupe of this one.
I have this bug (or any of its duplicates) with KMail 1.9.1 on OpenSuSE 10.0. It regularly, but not always, crashes Kontact when I change the language in the very moment I click on ok in the me message box telling me I have to restart the dialogue.
Testing with KDE-3.5.5 I always get a dialog "You have to restart the dialog for changes to take effect" after changing language. No crash, no message box only visible for a fraction of a second. Can anybody reproduce the problem with 3.5.5 (and if so, how) ?
You are right: it is gone in KDE 3.5.5 on OpenSuSE.
So then let's close it. If someone can still reproduce, please reopen.
