            Bug ID: 371696
           Summary: Infinitely loops on stealing focus when an account is
                    added but not accessible
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,

Build Identifier: 5.3.0

After adding an account, not sure if I missed any fields as I hit ok quickly to
switch to another task (interruption). Then every application I used lost focus
in and out in and out. After launching a full screen application it was
immediately minimized and I soon realized focus was being stolen as opening
menus or krunner and such would quickly close.

I open xev and saw loads of:

FocusIn event, serial 75, synthetic NO, window 0x9400001
FocusOut event, serial 75, synthetic NO, window 0x9400001

The serial number changing if I pressed lots of keys as I originally thought it
was a stuck key or something. I unplugged all devices and controlled machine
through kde-connect remote input, but the issue still occurred.

Hard shutdown, waited 30 seconds and booted and issue quickly came back, even
with all devices unplugged. I proceeded to close all applications, but issue
persistented and so I cycled the power again.

When I logged back in all was fine and I went on to do other things for an hour
or so with no issues. Then I remembered I was not done setting up account in
kmail. Opened it back up and opened menu to get to settings and it closed by
itself. Checked xev and sure enough it was back. I ended up forcing my way into
the menus and remove the account. All was good after that.

I am going to assume this has something to do with the account not having a
successful password prompt as it asked me once and I hit cancel since I was
need to do something quickly. Seems like it was infinitely cycling on checking
the mail and perhaps "thinking" about prompting me for a password. This
occurred even when application was minimized to tray.

If others cannot reproduce I may attempt again, but a bit nervous to hose
things again at the moment.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add account
2. cancel password prompt
3. tears
Actual Results:  
focus stolen

Expected Results:  
not steal focus
