Bug ID: 504951
Summary: Only first match in the Folder Selection Dialog is
properly shown
Classification: Applications
Product: kmail2
Version First 6.4.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: folders
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.de...@ehu.eus
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a large local mail collection, with hundreds of folders. Some of those
folders have similar or identical names (e.g. some folders are named "2025", or
"foo1", "foo2"). In order to navigate those folders, I rely heavily on pressing
"J", "C" and "M", which invokes the Folder Selection Dialog. This has worked
wonderfully up until before 6.4.0: if I pressed "J" (jump) and typed "2025",
all the folders matching that text chain were shown, together with the full
folder tree they belong to.
However, this has started working not so well in the last couple of months,
probably after I installed 6.4.0. Now, most of the times, only one of the
folders matching my query is fully shown. The other matches are found, but
their folder trees remain closed. I have to click through the tree, folder by
folder, to reach the one I was looking for.
(In case I didn't explain myself, I'll attach a capture in the next comment).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two or more folders in different places of your mail collection, with
the names of those folders being fully or partially identical (like
"subfolder1", "subfolder2", etc).
2. Go to another location and click "J" to open the Folder Selection Dialog.
3. Type whatever chain text your folders have in common (for the example above,
you can type "subf").
OBSERVED RESULT
Only one of the folders matching the name "subf" is shown. The others are
found, but their tree is closed and you have to click through it in order to
open it.
EXPECTED RESULT
All the folders matching "subf" should be shown, as they were in previous KMail
versions.
