Version: KDE 3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs Steps to reproduce: 1. Edit a contact (right-click and choose 'Edit properties'). 2. Click cancel (or OK without doing any changes). 3. Observe that the address book is saved (it should not be, as there are no changes that need saving). This is very annoying when the address book is large and stored on a remote computer. Reuploading the address book takes several seconds for me, when all I wanted to do is look at the details of some contact.
Looks like the same here. Haven't had a chance to try to find the code causing it though
In kde 4.1.2 svn trunk 863121, the save button is not grayed when the cancel button in the edit a contact window is pressed (so I assume the address book is not saved). But I see two window refresh after the edit window is closed.
The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4. Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
