           Summary: The way a resource is selected for a new event is
                    disfunctional
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: anders at alweb.dk

When adding an event in korganizer, the way the resource is chosen in GUI is
just wrong.

It is a preselected resource, allways the same one, in a combobox which is
never reached while tabbing to the end of the dialog, and out of the logical
tabbing order - if used, TAB does not go to the next element (summary entry).

This was working much better in kdepim 4.4:
If more resources were possible, user was prompted for a choice after finishing
entering the event. The last used resource would be preselected. This ensured
that the correct resource was always chosen, while using the same as last was
easy - just confirm the selection dialog.

Even if the last used is preselected, the current GUI is suboptimal, since that
may not be correct (It would be better than the current situation, but not
good). Another alternative would be to force a choice by preselecting a null
selection, and a dialog with the last used resource preselected displayed if
the user ends the editing without changing that. This would be as good as the
kdepim 4.4 solution.

The tabbing order should be fixed, and the resource selection be in focus when
the editor is started, if there are more than one choice, for new events. And
the resource must be changable from within the editor, or else go back to the
good design from kde 4.4 please.


Reproducible: Always
