Description Sabine Faure 2009-09-28 00:10:23 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch Kontact and go to KAB
- Type a couple of contacts with home addresses
- right click on the 'Name' column heading and check the 'Home Address' field

The contact's names are displayed differently (more spaces between each of them) but the added column is not displayed. The 'Name' column heading still takes up the whole column even if there is enough space for the second column to be displayed.

The only way for the Home Address to be displayed at the moment is to put the cursor on the right border of the 'Name' column (The cursor should change into a splitter shape) and click and hold while moving to the left. The 'Home' column should appear and display the contact's Home addresses. 

The user has no way of knowing that the column is just hidden. (in this case there is a display difference but is you select a different option like 'birthday'there is not) So I think that if there is enough space the added column or at least its heading should be displayed.

It is corrected now.

It is now possible to see the new column no matter how big the middle column is. The existing column gets reduced to show the added column(s).
