           Summary: Search result display in Composer is confusing
           Product: KMail Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The result of the search in the Composer text editor is confusing:

Since some of the words that were typed after the searched occurence are not
displayed anymore it could make the user believe were deleted.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Click on 'Write new email'
- Enter a subject and a few lines of text in the Composer text editor (ex:
'Testing the search functionality in the Composer. Having fun testing a lot of
functionalities.'
- Open the 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'Edit'
- Click on 'Search'
- Enter 'test' in the line edit
- Click on the 'Find' button
- The tab closes

Actual Results:  
The composer body only shows 'test' at the beginning of the text editor.

It seems that the rest of the text has been deleted.

- tap or click within the text editor

The full text reappear.

The search result display is confusing for the user because she may think that
some of the text was deleted because of a bug.

Also she has to guess that taping will make the full text reappear.

Expected Results:  
Maybe a search result should be displayed differently: by highlighting the
search occurences for example.

Or at least there should be a message like: 'Please click in the text editor to
exit the search' so that the user knows what is happening.
