Version: 3.2 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-9mdk I cannot copy text from the address book the normal way. Selecting text and pressing Ctrl-C or even selecting copy from the Edit meny has no effect. Selecting and pasting using the middle button does work, but since the middle button is emulated I don't fancy this method. Nevertheless the copy method should work when selecting works. Moreover cut deletes the entry being viewed, not the text. Cut should simply not be possible when the user has selected text in the information pane.
Hi, the concept of an address book is to deal with contacts, not text, so copy, cut, paste refers to contacts as well, not to the text. So KAddressBook behaves correctly. Ciao, Tobias

With that logic I would not be able to copy part of a mail in KMail either. Most apps (anywhere) can copy items that are not top level concepts and in particular text is usually copyable anywhere. Moreover if I right-click a kontact there are no "copy" there. If KAddreesbook is constistent with KDE guidlines Ok,... I read the Anti-Mac part now. It is consisten: Make sure nothing is consistent or works intuitively. Sic. -- robin
Sorry for the flame in the last paragraph ;-)
The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4. Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
