Contribute/Bugsquad/BugDays/KMailDay4

[edit] Introduction

Good morning and happy Bugsquad anniversary everyone. If this is the first time you're taking part in a bug triage, don't be scared by the amount of explanatory text on this page. We hope it's easily understandable - if it isn't bug us on IRC :-)

This is the page for KMailDay4 which takes place on Saturday/Sunday, April 4/5th 2009, but feel free to start early. The aim of this bug day is to organize as many of the KMail bugs as possible, identifying duplicate bug reports and already fixed bugs. Our targets for triage are bugs listed in bugs.kde.org under the product kmail.

[edit] Requirements

You don't need any programming experience to help out with Triaging, but you will need a recent version of KMail, either svn trunk or a recent release (eg. KDE 4.2.2). Information on setting up KDE from trunk can be found here. If you're having trouble installing KDE, feel free to drop by on #kde-bugs early to get some help.

[edit] General information

This page has useful information on how to not mis-mark bugs. In particular, "duplicates are hard". Generally we don't want to claim things are duplicates when they aren't. Make sure you get approval from a developer before you mark something a duplicate. We don't want to create more work for the developers!
Be sure to join #kde-bugs on irc.freenode.net, as this is where the bug-day will be coordinated. (You can even join now!)

[edit] Preparations

First of all, put your name and the version of KMail you are testing with into the Sign-in section. Then read the descriptions of the various sections to file bugs in carefully.

[edit] Junior Jobs

KMail is in search for bugs which are easy enough to fix for someone just starting out developing for KDE or KMail. Those kinds of bugs are called "Junior Jobs". If you think a bug sounds really easy to fix so it might qualify as a junior job, please put it in the "Junior Job Proposals" section. They will later be checked by the KMail developers if they really fit the scheme. In case a developer is around, you might as well ask him right away.

[edit] Workflow

Select one of the batches of bugs you'd like to do and pick it by putting your name into the appropriate column.
Execute the query to get the list of bugs and go through the bugs one by one.
1. Read the bug description and the comments carefully and try to reproduce the bug.
2. Post a comment on bugzilla explaining what you found out. Be sure to also put the version of KMail you are testing with in the comment.
3. Put the bug into the appropriate section and describe your findings here as well (eg. "Can't reproduce any longer" or "This bug is still reproducible for me"). If there's something special about a bug, you can prepend a little label like eg. crash. Please mark every bug with your IRC nickname. You can easily do that by appending ~~~.
4. Check if the bug's Version field is set properly. The version field for KMail bugs should always contain the last KMail version the bug is/was reproducible with. If the bug is no longer reproducible and it's unclear which version the bug last appeared in, please set it to the version you think it last happened.
5. Check if the bug's component is set correctly. It will be of great help when checking for duplicates (eg. comparing similar bugreports in the "Disconnected IMAP" component). If you lack permissions to change the component or are unsure about it, please put the bugs in the "needs component change" section along with a comment.
6. Check if the bug might qualify as a "Junior Job". If so, please put it in the "Junior Job Proposal" section.
7. Mark the bug as triaged by adding the triaged keyword on the bug. Again if you lack the permissions to do so, additionally put it in the "Needs triaged keyword" section.
If you're done with your batch, pick another one and start from the top :-)

[edit] Testcases

Some bugs might have documents that expose the bugs attached, for some bugs you might be able to create data that shows the buggy behaviour. In both cases we have to add the testcase keyword. If you lack permissions to do so, additionally add the bug to the "Needs testcase keyword" section.

[edit] Unclear

If something has no clear instructions on how to reproduce it, or has little useful information, add a comment asking the reporter for more detail. Then list it in the bugs awaiting feedback section. Be polite, we want to be nice to our bug reporters!

[edit] Is it a big bug?

Prioritizing is good. We're especially interested in problems that result in dataloss. Let's keep track of them.

[edit] Double Check!

Please list bugs here to get a second opinion before making the change in bugzilla. This also gives a record of what we've done for the developers to check.

[edit] Keep this page updated!

After adding triaged bugs on this page, you should keep an eye on their bugzilla status. Add yourself on the CC field in bugzilla to be informed about updates. When a bug is closed on bugzilla, it should be updated on this page.

You can use the tag <s>...</s> to mark a bug as done ~~like this~~.

[edit] Hints

You can edit single sections of this page if you you check Enable section editing via edit links in your TechBase Preferences.
Sometimes you might encounter edit conflicts if several people are working on the wiki page at once. We can mostly avoid those by keeping notes of the bugs we encounter in a text editor and file several of them later at once (don't forget to save).

Tip

Please be sure to sign every bug or comment you add to this page with your irc nickname. You can use the wiki markup ~~~ to insert your wiki username automatically (but only do this if it is the same as your IRC nickname, otherwise write your IRC nickname in by hand).

[edit] Common Bugs

There are some bugs which are commonly reported several times. If you found such a bug (or think you did), you can put it here:

[edit] Message list related

~~bug #142609~~ - Column sizes aren't saved
bug #187217 - Can't change column order, column order isn't saved
~~bug #181794~~ - Message list contains a dotted "tree line" even in flat view
~~bug #178402~~ - Configured custom fonts aren't used

[edit] Account loss

There should be plenty of bugs which are related to loosing accounts or settings (either on upgrade or on crash). If you find one of them, put them here.

bug #174940 - Account loss on upgrade and crash.

[edit] IMAP filters

These are tricky. Let's see if we can find some dups. They might not be!

bug #155026 - apply a filter, then cancel it; crash Blauzahl

[edit] Sign-in

Tell developers what you are testing with. (If you expect to upgrade between now and BugDay, put what version you are using now next to the bugs/comments that you put on this page.)

Please give distro/version or SVN branch/trunk with revision below (or just beta2 if you're using that):

IRC Nickname	KMail version used for testing
Lemma	svn trunk r948809
Jtamate	opensuse kde 4.2.68
FiNeX	svn trunk >= r947715
Blauzahl	svn trunk r939529
dtritscher	svn trunk r948814
lytenyn	gentoo kmail 1.11.1 from kde 4.2.1
Dario_Andres	kmail svn rev. 949046 (4.3)
Ruchir	openSUSE kmail 1.11.2 from kde 4.2.2
beer	Debian Stable and debian unstable in virtual box
CondorDes	svn trunk r949397

[edit] Division of Labour

Please choose a batch that is not already taken and then query bugs.kde.org for all bugs in that batch. Please mark you irc nickname in the table below to show which month's bugs you are working on to avoid duplication of effort.

If you have to leave before you can finish your batch, please put the last bug you triaged as well as if you're going to finish triaging in the table so others will know where you left off.

Warning

With these more recent bugs, if the report has been looked at by a developer (i.e. they cc'd themself or commented on it or posted a patch), and it seems like the issue is fixed, BUT the developer didn't close it, make sure the bug really can be closed. Often it can't.

[edit] Completed Bugs

Below lists the various sections for completed bugs. This aids everyone in double checking each other's work. In addition this allows those of us that don't have bugzilla permissions to list bugs so that the folks with the permissions can follow up.

[edit] Bugs to be marked as RESOLVED

Bugs that are no longer reproducible and have been fixed already go into this section. After they are double-checked they can be closed.

The reported behaviour is not a bug.
The bug is completely unrelated to KMail.

This list is not exhaustive. If you feel a bug is invalid for any other reason, be fure to list it here, mentioning why you think it is invalid. Before closing a bug as INVALID, be sure to get a developer's opinion.

~~bug #158078 Reporter complains about kmail storing it's mail data in .kde/share/apps/kmail -> suggest INVALID/WONTFIX dtritscher 08:20, 4 April 2009 (UTC)~~ Marked as WONTFIX by somebody else dtritscher 07:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

bug #162539 This seems not a real problem: if you use a wrong filter, is correct that the filter doesn't work. FiNeX

~~bug #165024 - This was a FireFox bug.~~ Not our problem if they don't respect fd.o specs. Lemma

~~bug #161661 - upstream; mail server bug or misconfiguration Blauzahl~~

[edit] Bugs that should be WISHES

Sometimes there are bugs that are actually wishlist items. If you think a bug is not really a bug please put it here.

bug #167068 looks like a wish to support Mail-Followup-To headers.

[edit] Bugs needing users with particular setups

Bugs that require particular software or hardware that you don't have available should be listed here with a description of the non-standard requirement.

bug #105587 Need a Lotus-Notes Server for testing Beer

bug #147159 CRAM-MD5 authentication method needed on POP server for testing. FiNeX

bug #150434 Chinese locale needed. dtritscher 14:52, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bugs needing attention from KMail developers

Add bugs here if you need to find out whether the observed behaviour is inteded, or if there's some other reason that it would be useful for a KMail developer to take a look at. Make sure you indicate why the bug needs attention. A second common reason to put a bug here is if it has already been heavily commented on by the application's developer. In the latter case please only add bugs you can reproduce.

Warning

Always defer policy decisions to developers.

bug #159213 - Anti-virus filtering. I can't figure out which anti-virus tool KMail is using (or if it's not using any). Possible high-priority. Lemma

bug #159634 - autosaved messages are removed on KMail startup making you loose them if you quit KMail before the next autosave triggers. Lemma

bug #160881 - GPG encrypted mail not working. There was a commit but the bug's still open. Lemma

bug #163235 - No phishing protection for links in HTML messages - Fixed in KDE4, user wants backport to KDE3.5. This should be decided by the developers. lytenyn

bug #161702 - Identities can only be used for new account after changes have been "applied". Maybe a popup on changing the configuration area with an option to "discard" or "apply" (see Systemsettings->Appearance) would be a solution? Lemma

bug #161758 - locale problem with accented filename in attachment: can't open in OOo (non UTF8 system). Works for me but I have a different locale (UTF-8). Lemma

bug #164448 - Crash on removing a filter while filtering is in progress. I don't manage to remove the filter (too slow or not possible any longer?) Lemma
bug #159846 - Incorrect folder size? Seems like the behaviour is what's to be expected. Lemma

bug #162360 Performance issue: I'm not able to reproduce but I've a powerful PC, maybe on slower system it could be more evident. FiNeX

bug #166653 Performance issue discovered on big local mail directories. Some coding hints has been provided. Develpers could give an eye on this problem. FiNeX

bug #147178 - mail check interval related. I think this is already implemented in KMAccount::checkDone(). Lemma

bug #148652 - Concerning the policy for word-wrapping forwarded mails. Lemma

bug #161557 - told jtamate just redid .sig stuffs? Blauzahl

bug #149999 - Im quite sure that described behaviour is correct. Should be WONTFIX imho. dtritscher 12:53, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

bug #167188 - Possibly related to bug #171630. Further debugging should be done by someone familiar with the code. CondorDes

bug #165841 - Devs already appear to be working on this. CondorDes

bug #162314 - Was able to reproduce the crash, but the backtrace I got differed from the reporter's. CondorDes

bug #151455 - Confirmed, with different backtrace. CondorDes

bug #151678 - Confirmed (this is not a duplicate). CondorDes

bug #150759 - UI related question. Ruchir

bug #149999 - Often password prompts are confusing to users. Ruchir

bug #151136 - Can reproduce on trunk but not sure if it shoul dbe implemented. Ruchir

[edit] Bugs awaiting feedback

Some bugs are hard to reproduce because the reporter left out some explanation you'd need. In that case we have no other means but to request some more information. Bugs for which feedback from the reporter has been requested should be put here. They should be revisited in 30 days to see if there's any response. If there's feedback

Feedback should only be requested for bugs if you have tried and failed to reproduce them or if the report contains insufficient information to try and reproduce the bug. Requesting feedback for a bug should be seen as a last resort only.
