[kmail2] [Bug 372976] dialog's editorial confusion on password storage
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372976 --- Comment #5 from Nick Levinson --- I don't have KMail on a laptop anymore and I can't test it, so I wouldn't say WORKSFORME. To say that a program is not available and that the user should use it is essentially contradictory and if KMail still says that then someone should correct it. Maybe someone else can check what KMail says now, or at least apply a LATER or similar label. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[kmail2] [Bug 372973] missing Help handbook
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372973 --- Comment #6 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> --- GUI/CLI followup (especially @Burkhard Lueck): Apparently, KHelpCenter is available but only through a command line interface (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/391430-Khelpcenter-for-OpenSuSE-where-do-I-find-it?p=1848523#post1848523) or the KDE Plasma Workspace (one graphical user interface), not the Gnome or IceWM desktop environment GUIs. I asked about the CLI preference at a forum (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521603-why-need-CLI-console-to-use-GUI-KMail-Help?p=2803654#post2803654) before I knew it worked in KDE's DE but no one replied. Why isn't KHelpCenter working in whatever GUI desktop environment we happen to be using? Are you getting it in any GUI other than KDE? If not, then this may need an enhancement request somewhere, probably first within KDE to make KHelpCenter compatible with a competitor's GUI. An alternative would be a message that, instead of saying essentially that we can't use the help, would say to switch DEs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372973 --- Comment #5 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> --- I didn't remove it, as far as I know. I install everything in a distro, even stuff I don't want, specifically to preclude any dependency failure. I can ask a forum about why it might be missing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[kmail2] [Bug 372976] dialog's editorial confusion on password storage
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372976 --- Comment #2 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> --- No, the first two sentences need editing. No objection to the edit you propose, but it still leaves the first two sentences in conflict with each other. Would deleting the second sentence from the original text mean that the remaining text (with your edit) would accurately describe the facts and the options for the user? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[kmail2] [Bug 372974] need to see dialog's bottom buttons
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372974 --- Comment #3 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> --- My screen is 768 pixels high. I don't remember another app having this effect. Regardless, 768 is not very short, the fonts are not unusually large, and the title bar hardly seems big enough to account for the buttons at the bottom being entirely out of view so as to force users to guess. Not all users are geeks. Even if we were using a cell phone's browser, the buttons or other indicia of equivalent functionality should be visible to users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[kmail2] [Bug 372973] missing Help handbook
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372973 --- Comment #3 from Nick Levinson <nick_levin...@yahoo.com> --- Apparently I don't have KHelpCenter (it's not listed in the distro's Software app or when I search the apps on the laptop). Therefore, shouldn't the window say something about KHelpCenter, so users don't see a message that looks like a dead end and thus wind up trying to work without access to Help, maybe fruitlessly? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[kmail2] [Bug 372977] New: dialog's text incomplete
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372977 Bug ID: 372977 Summary: dialog's text incomplete Product: kmail2 Version: 4.14.10 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: UI Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: nick_levin...@yahoo.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 102464 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=102464=edit screenshot The dialog Account Assistant > KDE Wallet Service says, "If you choose the classic format, be warned that the password you". That's it. The sentence ends prematurely. It appears that a vertical scrollbar is missing. Two more scrollbars also appear to be missing further down in the same dialog, for the lines below the second radio option. I don't know why scrollbars should be appropriate. The full text should be visible without scrolling, unless they're very long, but some solution is needed. I'm running KMail on openSuse 13.2 Linux, kept evergreen. I don't know if this is KMail2, but your bug tracking system doesn't list KMail as a product, so I guess this is the same thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Summary: dialog's editorial confusion on password storage
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.14.10
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Tools > Account Wizard > Account Assistant > KWallet Not Available - Account
Assistant has wording that is odd. You say KWallet is not available but you
urge that it be used. I suggest that you delete the second sentence ("It is
strongly recommended to use KWallet for managing your passwords.") if the first
and third sentences and what follows say everything the user needs to know.
I'm running KMail on openSuse 13.2 Linux, kept evergreen. I don't know if this
is KMail2, but your bug tracking system doesn't list KMail as a product, so I
guess this is the same thing.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372974 Bug ID: 372974 Summary: need to see dialog's bottom buttons Product: kmail2 Version: 4.14.10 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: UI Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: nick_levin...@yahoo.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 102462 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=102462=edit screenshot I opened the KMail dialog at Settings > Configure KMail but the bottom was below the screen and therefore, when I was finished with it, I could only guess how to dismiss the dialog. I typed the Enter key on my keyboard and that worked, but I'd rather see an OK button before I do that, and likewise for a Cancel button operable with the Esc key. I recommend that the buttons be visible on a screen of almost any size (not for the smallest screens but for them another method needs to be clear).
