           Summary: Sluggishness in Kmail under KDE4
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tony at beermad.org.uk


Version:           1.10.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm trying out the latest release of KDE4 from Kubuntu and I am finding some
operations in KMail to be very sluggish.

1. Mouse wheel scrolling. Click on a message and scroll down or up using the
mouse wheel. It is very slow to get moving and starts slowly before speeding
up. When I stop moving the mouse wheel, scrolling continues for a while.

2. When composing a mail and holding a key down (for example to generate a line
of minus signs) Kmail cannot keep up with the repeat-rate of the keyboard. This
means that when I release the key, it carries on until the buffer has emptied,
so it's impossible to judge how long a line I've typed. This happens in the
message pane, but inputs such as "to" and "subject" work perfectly.

Probably due to the development status of KDE4, but worth (I think) reporting.
