Description Tobias Kunze 2025-02-19 13:19:37 UTC 
Summary: Nicknames in the expanded name entry form appear to be saved, but when opening the contact again, they are a) not shown, and b) hitting save will save the field as empty.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the edit window for any contact
2. Click on "advanced" next to their name
3. Enter "test" in the nickname field
4. Save
5. Observe: The contact details show "Nickname: test"
6. Open contact again
7. Save contact
8. Observe: Their nickname is gone

OBSERVED RESULT
If you don't pay very close attention, you may just empty all your stored nickname data when editing your contacts in Merkuro!

This is exacerbated by the fact that currently, the "cancel" button in the contact edit window does not appear to work for me, so hitting "save" even after not editing anything is the obvious choice.

EXPECTED RESULT
Data that was present and not edited is not silently deleted.
