[opensuse-kde] Re: [opensuse-factory] snapshot 20190909: Change in kmail mail list keyboard navigation behavior
[Sorry for cross post] Hi, after the usual upgrade and reboot today, I noticed a significant kmail list keyboard navigation behavioral change: usually, one could navigate through the list of mails with cursor keys (given, the list has focus, of course). Collapsed groups could be opened with cursor right, and cursor left on the top level entry could close open groups. Now, cursor left and right step through the displayed mails, but don't open/collapse mail threads anymore. Up and down always scrolls the mail body (if no fully displayed). Also, I'm pretty sure, that keyboard navigation was possible in the mailbox hierarchy display. Now keyboard navigation ignores the focused item completely. Is that to be expected? If, yes, what's the rationale? Keyboard navigation of Qt5 lists is a pretty established usability pattern, that should be kept in all cases (principle of least astonishment)... Last, but not least, the changelog seems not to mention such a change.

The message list is provided by "messagelib" I think, but I don't see a relevant change there either. So it's probably caused by the Qt update to 5.13.1... However, I just tried in kmail 4.14 (Qt4 based), and the behavior is the same. Cursor right does *not* expand groups. If it was different in previous 5.x versions, it might have been by mistake I suppose (i.e. a bug that has been fixed). There are specific keyboard shortcuts for expanding/collapsing groups though: ',' and '.'. Btw, navigation using the cursor keys in the mailbox hierarchy is not possible in 4.14 either... But Ctrl+Cursor keys works (haven't tested in 5.x yet).
