Accidental replies

OgyOlive

I keep sending unintentional replies to emails I've received. Not sure if this is a bug or a shortcut that I'm accidentally hitting, but I've been notified that I've sent a couple out and I've even seen one myself on another account.

Never had this issue before - I'm 29 years old but I'm feeling like an aging executive here, and not in a good way.

I've turned off email related shortcuts for now, will keep this thread updated if it happens again

@OgyOlive I guess that happend as you accidentally hit r or f key.
A solution is to delete the shortcuts in Settings → Keyboard → mail.

Hi, R is the single shortcut to reply to a mail.
If you do so a tab open with mail reply, if you do nothing it lands in the Draft folder.
There it stays forever, you have to hit the send button actually.
So you have to do at least 2-3 manual actions to send a reply.

@OgyOlive,

Consider toggling Quick Reply off to see if issue persists. To do this:

press Ctrl+E to open Quick Commands dialogue
type quick reply
select Quick Reply On/Off under Commands section to toggle setting, toggle to off

FWIW: when Quick Reply is on pressing Ctrl+Enter results in selected message being replied to empty message body. If this is the cause or others confirm behaviours I will raise as a bug.

Hi, I can confirm this on Vivaldi 7.3.3635.4.
It only happen when a mail is selected, not at first start or if you change folders.

Confirmed.

Thank you @yojimbo274064400 and @mib2berlin - this will definitely be the issue. I have opening/closing the panel mapped to ctrl+enter, so it will be me hitting this while an email is open.

I've tried toggling quick reply on/off, but I'm not 100% sure whether it's on or off now - is there an indicator somewhere?

@yojimbo274064400 Thank you! Should hopefully be all sorted now
