When copying a contact by right-clicking and selecting "Copy contact", it becomes disabled (it will be gray and cannot be selected anymore) in the same way it is disabled when cutting the contact. It is re-enabled when pasting the contact into a different or the same address book. When pasting into the same address book it is duplicated as expected. When pasting the contact into an email, it is not re-enabled, leaving the contact disabled until kaddressbook (or kontact) is closed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click a contact 2. Select "Copy contact" Actual Results: Contact becomes grayed out and disabled. Expected Results: No change to the selected contact should happen when it is being copied.
I confirm it. Don't know why we disable it when we copy. For cut it's logical. Or perhaps to avoid to edit it... Will look at but it's not good.
I can confirm that the same thing happens when you select contacts and then export them.
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.
Just tried it with version 5.2.1, frameworks 5.23.0. Same issue. The context menu no longer contains "Copy contact", but this option still exists in the "Edit" menu, which shows us same behavior.
Thanks for the feedback.
I now updated to what I think is the latest version, 5.3.0, frameworks 5.26.0. The issue is still the same.
