Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: normal


When I started up kmail for the first time, I got two dialog boxes
on top of each other. (Using dialogs to deliver messages to the user
is bad UI design, but that is not the bug here)

The visible one was just the "tip of the day" box. It could not be closed,
because a modal box with an error message was beneath it. (No hostname
specified.)

Yes, I understand I need to set up kmail before it will work.
It should not obscure the error message with the "tip of the day" box
though. Better show only one box at a time. For example, drop the
silly "tip of the day" if there is an error already...

The workaround is simple - move the "tip box" to one side,
revealing the other box in order to dismiss it. Guessing that
there is another box on the screen is not easy thoughj, it
was not obvious.

Dear bug submitter,

Thank you for reporthing this issue.  The bug has been determined not to be
Debian specific, and therefore was reported in the KDE bugtracker; see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235175.

We are sorry it has not been resolved.  However, the version in which the
issue was reported is now obsolete and the upstream tracker has closed the
issue. Thus we are also closing the issue in Debian bug tracker.

If you think the bug is still relevant to a KDE Pim version in Debian stable
(aka Stretch) or newer -- i.e. part of KDE Applications 15.08.0 or newer --
then please open a new bugreport upstream and add your new information in the
upstream bugreport.

Again, thank you for reporting the issue. If there are any questions feel free
to ask.

KDE upstream bug tracker closed their bug with following statement:

"This bug has only been reported for versions before 15.08.0, which have been
unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still
present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact
(version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later),
it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug.
If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08),
please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input."
