            Bug ID: 334996
           Summary: Touchscreen input not detected properly
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.13
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

I am running kubuntu 14.04 on an acer iconia tab w500. I have the eGalax
proprietary driver installed, and multitouch is partially working with ginn (no
pinch to zoom yet, but 2-finger scroll and long press for right-click works).
On all other programs, the touchscreen seems to perform adequately, including
other elements of Kontact. So, for example, clicking on a date in Calendar
selects that date - clicking on an event selects that event and double clicking
it opens the editor.

However, in Kmail, clicks with the touchscreen only seem to hover the cursor. I
can't move the scroll bar (they become outlined, but don't move) and I cant
select any element inside of the boxes. So, I can't select a favorite folder,
when I try, the whole favorite folder box is highlighted and nothing happens.
Same behavior for the message list - I click on a message, and I just see a
breif synopsis of the message, it is not selected or preveiwed. I can scroll
through the message list with a 2-finger scroll though.

A USB mouse works as expected.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open kmail
2. Try to select a message from the message list with the touchscreen
3. Try to select a facorite folder with the touchscreen
Actual Results:  
kmai registers touch as a move and hover.  Not as a left click at the new
cursor location

Expected Results:  
Messge or folder would be selected,.

USB mouse works as expected
All other components of Kontact work as expected with the touchscreen
