Summary: Weird behaviour in account settings dialog
Product: kmail
Version: 1.10.0
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: aniketvb85 gmail com
Version: 1.10.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), 4.1.0-2.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler: gcc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686
This is a kinda small, but very irritating bug.
I have 2 Gmail accounts configured via IMAP in Kmail.
When I click on the Modify button in the Accounts tan in Kmail COnfiguration,
The Account Name field displays the account name for a moment and becomes blank, and I have to enter the Account Name every time I change something in the settings.
If I keep it blank, the folder for that account gets renamed to some number (which seems random) and the next time I go to modify that account, it says "unknown account" .
So the main problem is that the Account Name field should not Vanish like that in the first place. This was never a problem with Kmail in KDE 3.5.
As a side note, I have noticed this problem of Vanishing field entry on trying to change a setting or something in many KDEPim apps in KDE 4. To be specific , i have seen it in Akregator while editing feeds (the feed name disappears) , and also in Kaddressbook when I am editing any contact the formatted name field disappears as soon as it appears in the dialog.
