Description Jens Herden 2005-12-19 13:46:26 UTC

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

In the editor window I can choose the home and work address and get a nice preview of the address below.
But why can I not copy this nice formatted text? 
I can not select anything in the widget! Maybe I there is a way I just could not figure out. 

So my wish is make this preview widget selectable so that I am able to copy from it into the clipboard.

Comment 1 Jens Herden 2005-12-23 17:11:13 UTC

I change this to a minor bug because it is really annoying and should be fixed for KDE 3.5.1.

Comment 2 Tobias Koenig 2005-12-30 09:36:42 UTC

SVN commit 492514 by tokoe:

Allow the selection/copy of the formatted address by replacing QLabel
with KActiveLabel.

Comment 3 Tobias Koenig 2009-08-05 16:28:12 UTC

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.
