Description Martin Koller 2017-04-21 09:40:39 UTC

In the current version when starting kaddressbook all the fields for a contact now show a placeholder text.
This make the gui unusable since now I need to read carefully all the fields, decide if what I see is a text I entered or is the placeholder text.
It looks just bloated but does not help in any way since the placeholder texts are of course already clear.
As a user I don't need a hint that I shall "Add a Nickname" in the field labeled "Nickname".

In previous versions, I clearly just saw text I entered, the rest I did not bother to fill in were just blank.
Clean and simple.
Now it's really hard to use.
