           Summary: Reorganize kmail dictionary suggestion menu
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: vectro at vectro.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Currently, right-clicking a misspelled word in kmail brings up a menu with just
three options, the last of which opens a submenu. For example, typing in the
word "teh" and right-clicking yields a menu as follows:

┌─────────────────────┐
│Ignore               │
│Add to Dictionary    │┌────┐
│Suggestions for teh ►││the │
└─────────────────────┘│eh  │
                        ...
                       │t eh│
                       └────┘

There are two problems with this approach:
1. The easiest to click options are "Ignore" and "Add to Dictionary", which are
also the only undoable options. Although in a spellcheck dialog these might be
the most common options, in this use case users are unlikely to right-click a
word which is already correctly spelled.
2. Actually correcting the word requires two clicks, which is unnecessary as
the first menu is not excessively long.

Therefore, I propose to rewrite the menu with the recommendations first and the
"Ignore" and "add" options after, as follows:
┌─────────────────────┐
│the                  │
│eh                   │
 ...
│t eh                 │
├─────────────────────┤
│Ignore               │
│Add to Dictionary    │
└─────────────────────┘

Any thoughts on this approach?
