Description Christian 2012-08-03 05:18:11 UTC 
I cannot start Kaddressbook when the Kontact application is open (e.g. reading emails).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Kontact and go to say Emails view.
2. Start Kaddressbook (e.g. from KDE menu or by command-line)

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Address book should open. Alternatively, Kontact should open a new window with the addressbook. Or at least switch to the addressbook view.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kaddressbook (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:22:20 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
