Misc behavioral issues:
1. The least saved country to a e. g. private address is, when opening the contact settings / country list again, twice in the country list. The first entry is somewhere in the list and the second entry is in the correct alphabetical order.

2. After some time (unfortunately I cannot specify further) and several changes of the addresses country of one contact the original entry of a contacts private address disappears from the country list, in my case "Germany". Even after closing and restarting KAddressBook it is gone.

EXPECTED RESULT

See above.

Misc behavioral issues:
1. The actual saved country of one contact should not appear twice in the country list when entering the setting of the address.

2. No country should disappear from the country list.
