Description Mårten Woxberg 2002-09-16 20:40:29 UTC 
"Right and Left are "expand thread" and "collapse thread", and we don't
want to change that, because that's a pretty common keybinding in tree
widgets." -Dan Winship

Ok the trouble is that Left and right to collapse or expand ONLY
work with Numlock OFF.

This shouldnt be the case.. numlock should ONLY affect the keys on the
keypad or am I wrong?
Anyway the behaviour is strange since I sit in Numlock On att all times
I can never use the collapse or expand thread commands.

if true, then it's a bug in ETable. have fun mike :-)
Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2004-06-11 20:08:31 UTC 
is thi still an issue?
Comment 3 Mårten Woxberg 2004-06-12 19:19:13 UTC 
Dunno, haven't been able to build a working Evolution in months, 
I guess this concerned the 1.4 version, not sure it's valid for 1.5,
should be easy to check, just sett everything to lang sv_SE and try it
yourself.
Comment 4 Gerardo Marin 2004-06-14 05:58:21 UTC 
It is the case: It's catching only the numpad keys and arrows are not
working (1.5.9), no need to change LANG
Comment 5 Mårten Woxberg 2005-05-08 12:25:20 UTC 
This is still the case in Evolution 2.2.1.1
Comment 6 André Klapper 2006-01-23 21:57:43 UTC 
also see bug 272342
Comment 7 Oded Arbel 2006-06-30 08:45:33 UTC 
For me it doesn't work at all with numlock disabled (evolution 2.6.2). I don't know how to turn on numlock in the IBM thinkpad, so I can't test with numlock.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2009-11-08 16:11:24 UTC 
This report has not seen any changes or updates for more than 3 years.

Also, GAL was merged into Evolution in June 2005. Actual GAL bugs are now located in the Product "Evolution", component "GAL". The external, separate GAL codebase will not receive any changes.

We kindly ask you to check whether the issue you have reported here still happens in GNOME 2.26 or 2.28. 
If so, please update this report by adding a short comment, removing the NEEDINFO state, updating the "Version" field and moving this to the Evolution product (if you have sufficient Bugzilla rights to do so).

Again thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be handled for the version you originally used here.
Comment 9 Mårten Woxberg 2009-11-09 11:22:30 UTC 
I've stopped using Evolution a few years back since it takes several years for anything to happen to usability issues such as this.
Comment 10 André Klapper 2009-12-17 16:52:37 UTC 
Closing as per last comment. Feel free to reopen and move this to Evolution if it is still valid.
