- Can you post an screenshot of the KAddressBook window (using https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=223038&action=enter) ?
- Can you upgrade to KDE SC 4.3.x ?

Comment 3 Martin van Es 2012-04-14 14:46:47 UTC

I've had the same problem and solved it by deleting any configuration file (not addressbooks) I could find for kaddressbook. Probably due to some unresolvable legacy settings from earlier versions?

$ find -name kaddr*
./.kde/share/config/kaddressbookrc
./.kde/share/config/kaddressbookmigratorrc

$ find -name kaddr* -delete (check output first!!)

Thank you for your efforts you put into this bug. kab3 has long been deprecated, and so I close its old reports. If this bug/wish is still valid for kab3's successor kaddressbook in any recent version (5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08.0 or later), please file a new bug against kaddressbook.
