Description Xiurong Simon Zheng 2006-03-08 06:33:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Fullname dialog should be non-modal, otherwise, that would affect receiving
email or other function.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch evolution
2. File->New->Contact, open contact editor.
3. Click "Full name" button, then pop up fullname dialog.
4. Try to switch to mail folder.


Actual results:
Can't do nothing untill fullname dialog is close.

Expected results:
Fullname dialog should be non-modal, so that we can't receive mails at the same
time.

Does this happen every time?


Other information:
The bug is similar with #241219

Make full name dialog in contacts editor is non-modal.

Confirming, I guess.

Although it is easy to "lose" a tiny dialog like this one, when dealing with large windows like the Evo main window and the contact editor...


Note, for revieving the patch:

* What happens, if the "Full Name" button is clicked multiple times?
  We probably should display the already existing dialog, by raising it.
* What happens, if you *close* teh Contact Editor with the Full Name dialog
  still open? Similar szenarios already led to crashes in the past.
