Summary: Usability: Remove "Clear" context menu entry of mail editor Product: kmail Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: unspecified Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages This is a severe usability issue: In the right mouse button menu of the mail composer there is an entry "Clear" which removes all entered text from the composer window without any warning. What makes it even worse: It bypasses the undo system, so there is no way to get the deleted contents back. As much as I understand it, the "Clear" option is for (one-line) text fields, not for whole text editors. There is already a "Delete" option which requires selecting the text to be deleted and is integrated into the undo mechanism. So the proposed solution is to remove the "Clear" option from the RMB menu altogether. On my notebook, the "show rmb menu - key" is next to the shift key. I just lost one hour worth of formulating a complicated email by accidentally hitting this key instead of shift and then, also accidentally (but very quickly while typing ;-)) hitting the L key which happens to be the accelerator for "Clear". I saw something flashing (the rmb menu) and gone was my work. No warning, no chance to revert. Please do something about it. You might possibly also talk to khtml developers as I just see the "Clear"-entry is in the rmb-menu of html textareas, too... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
