Bug ID: 318915 Summary: Surplus angled bracket freezes sending operation Classification: Unclassified Product: kmail2 Version: 4.9.5 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: composer Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: hara...@gmail.com KMail version: 4.8.5, openSuSE 12.2 I composed an email with several recipients. One recipient address which I copied from another email had a surplus angled bracket ">" at the end of the string (my error, didn't catch it). When I pressed "Send", I saw a message [quote]em...@domain.com> The email address you entered is not valid because it contains too many closing angle brackets.[/quote] I cklicked OK and then the whole composer window with this email WAS GREYED OUT and did not react to user actions. There was no way to edit anything in this window, to close it or do anything with it. Apparently the error processing after the address check has a glitch because it does not gracefully offer either (a) that the user corrects the recipient address and tries again to send the email, or, less desirable (b) that the user can at least in a final action close the window where the error occurred. When I closed the KMail main window, a message appeared which offered that I save the pending email to the Drafts folder which I did. I restarted KMail, opened the email in the drafts folder and the offending recipient address had been corrected! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compose a message with a wrong recipient address (example: surplus trailing angle bracket) 2. Try to send it 3. Click on OK when KMail reports the error 4. Bingo, the "dead" window is there. Actual Results: Close the KMail program. Accept to save the pending email to the drafts folder. KMail AND THE GREYED-OUT window both close. Restart KMail, open the saved email. It shows a corrected recipient address and could now be sent if you want. Expected Results: Of course, no "dead" window. Let the user manually correct the offending email address or, since KMail obviously attempts to correct the address itself, present the user with this corrected result and let him try a second time to send this 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
