Description Michael Wheatland 2006-06-21 11:15:43 UTC 
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-686

When using a contacts directory as a resource when deselected then reselected in the display box 2 entries for each contact appear.
When this is done again, 3 entries for each contact appear.
This must have to do with loading the directories contents to Kontacts memory, but the old memory not being cleared.

I can confirm this with Fedora 9 + KDE4.1.2 + kdepim3(kaddressbook 3.5.10), x86_64. Similar issue with file resource in bug #125101.
Comment 2 Juha Tuomala 2008-10-31 23:06:50 UTC 
And note that this only happens on screen, in directroy I constantly have two vcards without changes.

Comment 4 Juha Tuomala 2008-11-02 21:29:06 UTC 
I made another Directory resource to /var filesystem and did same 
tests again, now it works without duplicating visible entries.

My first dir was on NFS $HOME where the problem appeared.

# mount |grep home
server:/srv/home on /home type nfs (rw,addr=172.16.1.1)

server is centos5.

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.
