Description Axel Braun 2021-09-13 07:52:43 UTC
I noticed several times that contacts disappear from contact lists.
Unfortunately I cant really tell 'why' they are disappearing. At least in the list it now shows 'This contact is not available anymore', but does not tell which contact.

This seems to affect contacts that are only in my google address book, although the contact list is stored locally.

The contact list was created out of an email (store recipients list as...) - so why is there a need to link this with an address book at all?

I feel this is a critical issue, as it comes with a loss of data

Still the same issue, thats a big issue when dealing with recipients lists.
Is this maybe related to  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427319 ?

This seriously annoying bug sill lives in

unlike the original report this time no google contacts are involved, instead we have (most likely) manually added contatcts that disappear.

Still happens with Google contacts as well. It will just randomly remove contacts. I have noticed that if I go into google and change something (anything - I've been adding a letter or number to the notes section) the contacts will reappear for a short time. But who and when is just random.
