Resolved, but wishlist follows.
Yep, that's what happened.
I'd say then that the bug is that the message body becomes minimized,
and that there is:
- No indication of this. What I did have was the resize bars for the
folder list/message body and message body/message parts bits of the
display mashed together. Which this looked like a somewhat thick
divider, it really didn't occur to me that it was a _doubled_
divider. Setting a minimum height for the message body might be a
good fix. Clicking on message components (in both the main
Kontact/KMail frame, or in a Message frame) failed to open a visible
message body.
- No apparent way to clear the issue.
- The message window remains minimized even after various application
and message windows have been created/destroyed multiple times. I
sort of bore with this for a few weeks (I _read_ mail in mutt, but
use Kontact largely as a calendar/PIM).
- There is no control or menu option to make the message body window
visible.
- There's no obvious indication that there is a message body at all,
or that it's been minimized.
I'd say the simplest fix would probably be to set some minimal size for
the body window, and reset the window to that size if it's ever smaller
than same.
Peace.
