Hi,

this sounds quite strange, i know, but this is what i did:

i had kmail running, the version from the kroupware people.

i wrote a mail to somebody, and sent it. then i clicked on the scrollbar button on the right of the upper right window of kmail, the messages window to scroll down some messages. i held down the mouse, and then a message box appeared, which told me that the mail i tried to send was not accepted by my mail server, because it didnīt relay messages and the pop-before-smtp timeout was timed out...
the strange thing was, that the messages window kept scrolling down all the time, even after i clicked ok in the message box.
then i clicked on the "scroll down arrow" again and released it, and then the window stopped scrolling.

the messages window should stop scrolling, when the mouse is released again, no matter who eats the missing button up event...

it seems like this is some kind of race condition, and i donīt know if it is reproducable at all, and i donīt know if it is only the case in kmail, or if it can happen in all kde- or qt-programs, but i wanted to file this bug report, before i forget about it again ;-)

thanks, Holger
