Version: kdepim-3.5.4-0.1.fc5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux In Kontact (or KAddressBook) if you add a new DistributionList, then try to rename it, the new name seems to stick, but the list becomes unusable (you can't add, rename etc after that). If you have added contacts to it, before the rename, then if you try to rename, it simply ignores the rename. (this at least doesnt make it unusable). This worked fine in 3.5.2 from FC5. (i386) If I load Kaddressbook (without Kontact), I can reproduce the problem.
Confirmed on r582187 . This seems to have something to do with kaddressbook being in a state with no distribution lists. Behaviour I observe: 1. Make sure you have one or more distribution lists. Restart kaddressbook. Create a new list, add some contacts, click on rename, choose a new name, click ok. The list briefly changes to the new name, then changes back. This is *also* a bug, but no the exact behaviour originally reported. I imagine it's related though. 2. Remove all the distribution lists. (Optional: restart kaddressbook). Now create a list, populate it and rename it. I get the behaviour described by the reporter (list becomes disabled). Hope these observations are useful. (BTW, workaround: the "New list" button is still enabled, so create a new list, and then switch back to the original list, which is now enabled again)
Created attachment 17862 [details] Patch to fix Patch to fix: Make sure to save the list after changing it Analysis: DistributionListWidget::editList updates the name of the list item, then calls updateNameCombo(), which loads the names from disk (via mManager->load()), so we need to save the list to disk after changing it

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.
