Bug ID: 427853
Summary: Special characters in recipients saturates the system
Product: kmail2
Version: Git (master)
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: lucien.perregaux at gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Typing a special character in the recipients text field saturates the system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch KMail
2. Create a new mail
3. In the text field nex to "to/cc/cci" (recipients), enter a special character
(i.e ç or â)
OBSERVED RESULT
4a. Press Enter
5a.
KMail adds all my addresses (which are in the KAddressBook) to the recipients
list indefinitely.
Then, once the maximum amount of recipients is reached (200), the message box
(which says that) continues to show up billions of times and saturates the
system (Clicking on "OK" does nothing, as I can't click faster than the
system).
4b. Remove the "focus" from the "new message" KMail window (click on the
application launcher, open a Konsole, or click on a already opened window like
the main KMail [where the inbox is])
5b. Kmail adds, ONLY ONCE, all my addresses (which are in the KAddressBook) to
the recipients list.
EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing, the special character stays in the text field, same as if we had a
typed a normal ASCII-compatible character.
