           Summary: Spell checker behavior is distracting
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kumaran at alumni.stanford.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

This bug describes a user experience issue with the as-you-type spell checker
in the KMail composer.  Specifically, the red underline appears as soon as a
couple of letters are typed, but before the word is complete.  This behavior is
quite distracting because the user constantly sees a red underline under the
current word.

Other applications such as Evolution and Firefox only spell-check a word after
a terminating character such as space or period is typed.  As such there is no
underline until the word is complete.

This issue should be very easy to correct and would be most appreciated for the
next point release.
