Description Marius Orcsik 2008-12-07 18:07:09 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When trying to add a contact from an opened email kmail freezes and the process starts using more CPU than usual until I close it. 

Kontact has the same behavior too.

Observations: 
1. Akonadi is started and I have as Address Books the : Akonadi Compatibility Resource (empty) and a local VCF file (which contains my addresses). 
2. I have also tried with only one of these resources active at a time, but it's the same thing.

I can confirm this behaviour.
After right clicking on the email address and clicking on add to ..., KMail freezes on my system too.

Comment 2 Marius Orcsik 2008-12-07 19:05:16 UTC

I found a workaround:

I think the problem actually lies with Akonadi because I went to the system settings and set the local VCF file as the Standard Contacts resource, everything goes well. (systemsettings - Advanced - KDE Resources - Contacts)

Unfortunately this fix didn't work for me.  Kmail does freeze when I try to add someone to the address book.  In the system settings (advanced, KDE Resources, Contacts) I set the local file (which is a VCF file) as the standard contacts resource.  I also disabled the check box for Akonadi.  

Kmail still freezes however.

Hey good news!  This bug resolved itself when I upgraded my KDE to the latest beta version.  I would say that whatever is causing this problem, they are probably already fixing it somewhere else.

Fixed by:
SVN commit 899878 by krake:

Keep track of which collections have already been loaded during asyncLoad so we know when to emit loadingFinished()
