ctl+n to create new compose windows
Last modified: 2008-07-09 07:59:31 UTC
there should be a way for you to choose HTML format as your default for composing messages also pressing ctrl-n on when a compose window is open doesn't make another compose window you have to put the focus on the main evolution window if you want to open another window, it might be helpful if pressing ctrl-n when having a compose window also worked.
The first part is in the per-account options, so re-titling.
As a result of the UI freeze today, I'm marking all remaining non-1.0 UI bugs to 'future'. Someone reading this should only change the target back to 1.0 under the following circumstances: 1) The change would not impact documentation. (i.e., 'how to do X' would not have to be changed in any way.) 2) The change would require trivial work for the programmers involved. Most likely, only the programmers themselves are able to judge this. So, if you are not on the evo team, or cannot provide a patch to them for this, you should probably not make any such changes. Sorry that this is going to impact so many irritating bugs, but we have to prioritize our limited resources.
still valid for 1.1.0.99, ctrl-n in a compose window doesn't open another
ill not working in evo1.4.4-54.
*** bug 246211 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
still missing in evolution1.5-1.5.91.0.200407250730-0.snap.ximian.8.1.
This has been fixed.
Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability bugs. Filter on EVO-USABILITY-SPAM to ignore.
still in 2.4, therefore punting target milestone to 2.5, reassigning to harish
I'm inclined to close this WONTFIX...
changing target milestone from 2.5 to future. sorry, too many bugs, too less time.
Why would this be WONTFIX? It seems a perfect reasonable use case that a user may be midway through composing an email to one individual, and need to compose a new email to somebody else.
Is this still an issue? If so, please set version accordingly, else close as OBSOLETE.
Verifying that this is still an issue took me about ten seconds.
Created attachment 114171 [details] [review] proposed evo patch for evolution;
Looks good, just one nitpick. I'd rather not show the word "composer" to users. Evolution's main menu uses "New -> Mail Message" to open a composer window, so I'd prefer the menu item say "New Message" instead of "New Composer".
No need to post a new patch just for that, btw. Just make sure you don't introduce any duplicate mnemonics in the menu and commit.
Slightly modified patch committed to trunk. Committed revision 35733.
