Description Jonathan Riddell 2013-12-11 13:42:43 UTC

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on user foo
2. change real name to bar
3. click on user alex


Actual Results:  
4. user foo's real name is still foo

Expected Results:  
4. user foo's real name is still bar

Why do you expect information that is no longer shown to be saved?

Adding a blocking popup like we do in another kcm's is bad, we don't want to block user interaction.

Saving the information could be done but then, what happens if the user closes the dialog? or if the user clicks "Apply" while on other user? do we save all?

Imho it will add too much complexity for little gain :/

What would you do?
