Description Ben Adler 2010-05-21 11:06:11 UTC

Version:           svn trunk from 2010-05-20 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Please disable the "New Contact" button when kaddressbook is unable to save a contact.

I just started kaddressbook and it came up completely empty. No address books, no contacts, no groups. I clicked "New Contact" and spent some time to enter lots of details for my first contact. After pressing OK, I was prompted with an address book to select where I wanted this contact to be saved. This dialog was empty and didn't offer me to create an address book. I could only press Cancel, and then my contact data was lost.

I think thats a rather frustrating bug.

Please disable the "New Contact" button when kaddressbook is unable to save a contact.

Confirmed, needs backport to 4.4 branch too.
