Summary: Sign/Encrypt dialog behaves different for
mouse/keyboard usage
Product: kmail
Version: 1.11.2
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: mail at eliasprobst.eu
Version: 1.11.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
I've found a really strange behaviour of a KMail dialog which I've never seen
before. In the end it's just a minor usability issue, but I found it to be
quite annoying for keyboard users.
I have my KMail configured to
- sign every message by default
- ask for every message you're about to send whether it should be encrypted
So when I send a mail to someone who isn't configured to receive encrypted
mails by default, the 'Sign' button on top of the mail composer is active,
while the 'Encrypt' button is inactive.
If I send the message, a dialog pops up asking:
"Some parts of this message will not be encrypted.
Sending only partially encrypted messages might violate site policy and/or leak
sensitive information.
Encrypt all parts instead?"
This dialog has 3 options:
- Encrypt All Parts
- Sign Only
- Cancel
The "Encrypt All Parts" is enabled by default, so pressing Return would start
the encryption process.
Sometimes I don't want to/can't encrypt a message, so I select "Sign Only".
But here happens the bug:
- If you switch to "Sign Only" using the "Right Arrow" or "Tab" key and press
"Return", it starts the encryption process like you had activated "Encrypt All
Parts" while this doesn't happen, if you push the "Sign Only" button using the
space bar.
Using the mouse for clicking the button works as expected.
