Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources If I right click on one of my contacts and go to properties, then set an them with an Address Book Link and select Use addressbook name under the Display Name Source, the name will be blank when you hit OK. If you go back to properties, change to From Contact, hit OK, go back again and set to Use addressbook name, it will work. Also, if you set the address book link, click ok, then go back and set the name from address book, it will work. Seems to be something with doing both at the same time. I did not test to see if the picture settings were the same.
Would also maybe be a good idea to add an Apply button to this widget, especially until the bug is resolved.. that way you wouldn't have to reopen the dialog twice to use the workaround. I looked around and I guess all that has to do be done is change the OK|Cancel to OK|Apply|Cancel in both locations in kopetelviprops.cpp and connect the signal applyClicked() to the slotOkClicked slot ... but I have never coded on KDE and just started reading a QT book.
