Bug 195489

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The display of "organization" contact information in kontact, kmail and addressbook is "empty" if no "Given" or "Family" name is present resulting in all organization contacts being grouped at the top of the list in address book with "No Name" shown at all. (Just a group of blank entries at the top of the list) This is of no use at all unless you click on *each* blank to display the detailed information so you can tell what you are looking at. (not fun)

*If* an "Organization" name is present, *and if* there is *no* Family or Given name for the contact, *then* the "Formatted Name" should default to the "Organization" name in addressbook. (endif ;-)

Currently the only way to make organization contacts visible is to edit each contact "one-by-one" and change the "Formatted name:" from the default of "Simple" to "Organization" so that the contact is visible... That's nuts. This is a computer, it should be smart enough to do the simple stuff for me so I see usable information on the screen instead of blanks in the list.

This is very noticeable in kontact, kmail and addressbook where groupware integration is used. When I first opened addressbook, I though it was broken because all I saw was blank names. Then after editing 60+ organization contacts one-by-one, I finally got the the addressbook in a usable form.
