Version: 1.7.50 (using KDE 3.3.89 (CVS >= 20041104), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21 Its impossible to navigate the status combobox (just above the topics list) using the keyboard. To reproduce: press alt-u and notice how the combobox becomes 'selected'. Pressing [space] moves my current email down, I expected the combobox to open. Pressing [down] moves my current email down, I expected the combobox to move to the next item. Alternatively: click in the search box and press tab; the combobox is again selected. Pressing space does not do anything. Pressing tab again moves the focus to an unseen widget. Recovering with shift-tab is impossible; my focus is gone. Worst of all: press alt-u and notice the combobox to be selected. Press 'd' to selected the 'Deleted' item in the combobox. I expected the combobox to change I see my selected item being deleted!
Alt+U, Alt+Down
Jan, thats not the way we work here. I report a bug in KMail because it does not work the same as the rest of KDE, and because you know how to work around those limitations does not make it a 'worksforme'. In other words; I did not ask you to give me support on KMails usage; I told the KMail developers of a problem in their application.
Fair enough, but it's sometimes hard to differentiate between 'certified' useability people and people with a pet peeve WRT a particular piece of functionality. I know that especially the way Up/Down/Left/Right work in kmail is widely misunderstood. I just try to help to do initial bug triage. I was wrong :)
Just checked that with KDE4.1+ from svn trunk (r860647) and the problem still exists.
Lets close this one now :)
