           Summary: Menu Buttons for "Check Mail", "Reply", and "Forward"
                    do show drop-down lists
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.11.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at bugs.jan.ritzerfeld.net


Version:           1.11.1 (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When I started using KMail of KDE4, I did not manage to get the menu buttons
for "Check Mail", "Reply", and "Forward" to show their menu. Since other people
were obviously able to access these menus, I spent some to figure out what I
was doing wrong:
I pressed the menu button, held down the left mouse button, and then moved the
mouse pointer to the position where I knew the menu would appear. The last step
prevented the menu from showing the menu! You have to keep the mouse pointer
over the menu button until it opens.

Perhaps it would be less confusing to use the same splitted buttons like
Konqueror does for "Back", "Up", and "Forward"? The menu buttons used in KMail
seem to be designed for showing the menu instantly, like the menu button for
the KGet integration in Konqueror.
