Description Manfred Mislik 2008-09-15 21:11:55 UTC

Version:           v1.10.0 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

-> Go to Mail component in Kontact
-> Right click on mail address you know is in your address book and select 'Open in Address Book'
-> Window changes to address book but Contact Editor doesn't open with selected contact

This used to work very well and I just found out today that it doesn't anymore. If it's only a week or a month that this happens, I don't know.

Just checked that with KDE4.1+ svn trunk (r860647). I can confirm that issue.

Comment 2 FiNeX 2008-09-27 11:05:24 UTC

It seems fixed in r864988. Could you confirm it?

I still experience that problem in trunk r865263

I attach the output from konsole to that event on my machine.

I ran that in Xephyr as kde-devel.

Comment 5 Arne Schmitz 2009-03-12 12:25:40 UTC

I have a similar problem: If I add a contact by clicking with right mouse button on an email address, and choose "add to addressbook", Kontact hangs, with no feedback. Note: I use an IMAP address book to have access to my contacts from all Linux machines that I use. Is this probably related? Because I think in 3.5 it used to open up the contact in the address book.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:10:25 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
