The Select Categories dialog box in Kontact is very difficult to use. It suffers from three problems:
1) It is too narrow (415 pixels) and too short (326 pixels) when it pops up. I would recommend at least 500x600 so that many categories could be seen at once without excessive scrolling.
2) Clicking on a category does not select it. Rather, the checkbox itself must be clicked on.
3) When a contact's categories are edited (added/removed categories to existing contact), clicking OK in the Edit Contact window closes both the Edit Contact window and the Select Categories window. However, the newly [de]selected categories are not saved. So clicking OK has the same effect as clicking Cancel. In other words, data loss.
