Don't you just love it when the developers arbitrarily decide without
notice that a feature of the UI should be changed?  I have the same
problem in Fedora (24.12.3, too).

This change happened over a year ago when someone broke links in
kmail.  I reported the broken links problem and they eventually fixed
it.  (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482568)  My original bug
report also mentioned your problem, but they closed it as a duplicate.

This message reminded me that the developer claimed this was a new
issue and should have a new bug report it.  I just opened a bug report
for this behavior.
