Summary: search and find messages - bug - feature - catch
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: gassauer kde org
Version: 1.9.6 (enterprise 20070904.708012) (using 3.5.8 "release 31.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.13-0.3-default
to reproduce
1) enter a search term - which reduces the number of displayed message headers
2) click find messages:
- enter different search criteria here - which displays a list at least partly different from (1)
- click on one of the messages which is not in the list (1)
- the message is NOT displayed in the window (1)
while this is propably correct in the sense of programming - it is not very intuitive. The user sees list (2) and will not immediately understand, why the message is not displayed.
IMHO the search term in (1) should be
* cleared on opening "find messages" - or
* at least a question should be asked "clear search criteria?" or
* eventually copy the search criteria of (1) into the search window (2).
