Description Icecube63 2012-02-21 11:28:24 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

When i create a new Group, i can see the added Kontact a short time at the right column, after a few seconds they disappear. Only the Group is shown in the list of kontacts, if i choose the group to edit i see the changes only a short time.

I have this problem in Kontact 4.4.1 at Pardus and PCLinuxOS and in Kontact 4.8 at Chakra.

Reproducible: Always

I have the same problem with Fedora-16 (kdepim-4.8.2-1.fc16.i686).
This makes the group facility completely useless.
I note that when a contact is added to a group, the entry in ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/distlists
is modified by the addition of a cipher;
but this cipher is not the same as the contact UID.

Tested in Mageia 2 beta 3 - KDE 4.8.2.

Good news - contacts added to group some months ago are still visible.
Bad news - attempting to Edit, to add another name, crashed Kontact - tried a second time, to confirm the problem and it behaved identically.  Sadly, then, this may still be broken.

Can't reproduce that. Fill a new bug with your backtrace

Reopen if you have backtrace
