By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Kris 2012-07-15 20:19:28 CDT 
In Kontact, occasionally an individual component will malfunction, but that doesn't mean Kontact as a whole is malfunctioning. Kontact is simply a "shell" for several other individual applications. Therefor, it would be helpful to have the ability to have Kontact reload an individual component that is having a hiccup, e.g. right-click a component in the left-hand panel and click a reload option in the context menu; clicking that should cause the associated application to completely close, then have Kontact reload it after several seconds of delay.

Occasionally, a component will malfunction in such a way that it crashes, which will in turn cause Kontact to crash. Kontact needs a way of handling this without crashing, e.g. display an error message saying that X application for Y component crashed, and X application will now be reloaded. It should also suggest that the user check the bug tracker to see if a similar issue was filed, and if not, to file a bug report including a backtrace.
