The workaround for the black message preview pane is to resize the root Kmail |
| 30 |
window. When redrawn the message preview pane shows its contents. Resizing |
| 31 |
has to take place in a single operation and left alone for a few seconds. If |
| 32 |
multiple resizing actions take place then invariably Kmail becomes |
| 33 |
unresponsive and crashes. QtWayland complains about something or other not |
| 34 |
implemented, so I assume some coding in Kmail needs to be polished to make it |
| 35 |
work more smoothly in Wayland. |
