Description LibertyCircle 2025-10-20 16:04:43 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a website in a KAddressBook Contact
2. The website (URL) is not displayed in General View 

OBSERVED RESULT
You can't simply click the link to open a website in a browser

EXPECTED RESULT
Simply click on the link and the website would open immediately in Firefox (or other browser), as it always was

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kaddressbook 6.3.3 (24.12.3)
Debian Trixie 13
KDE Plasma 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks 6.13.0
QT 6.8.2

In Kaddressbook, no web pages are displayed in the general contact view. All other fields are displayed there, and also custom fields are no problem. However, the field with the URL ("Web") is not displayed. This field is the most important, because I could always simply click on the link and the website would open immediately in Firefox.

Now you have to laboriously go into Edit Mode, copy the web page, manually paste it into the address bar in the browser, and then open it.

Why doesn't this work anymore?

Thanks for the quick bug fix.

But when will there be an update for Kaddressbook (6.3.3)? 
How do I install the patch to fix it?

it will be in next 6.6.0 not in 6.3.3.
6.3 is not maintain.

Thanks, Laurent. 
I understand 6.3.x isn’t maintained anymore.

However, Debian Trixie (current Testing) and other distros still ship 24.12.3 (Gear 6.3.3) as their latest stable KDE PIM.

Would you consider cherry-picking this small HTML-template fix into a 6.3.4 maintenance release? 
It’s a visible regression that breaks a core feature for all current Testing users.
