GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317835
Home e-mail address not saved
Last modified: 2008-04-25 17:43:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I enter my home e-mail address in the About Me capplet, the data isn't saved. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enter Home e-mail address in About Me capplet. 2. Close About Me capplet. 3. Open About Me capplet. Actual results: My home e-mail address has been forgotten. Expected results: My home e-mail address should appear in the appropriate field. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
I can confirm this, but I noticed something interesting: 1. Enter your e-mail address in the "Home" text field. Leave the "Work" text field *empty*. 2. Close About Me. 3. Open About Me again. Result: The address you entered in the Home text field is now displayed in the Work text field, and the Home text field is empty. It appears as if these fields are being mixed up in some way. If I enter an e-mail address both in the Home and Work text fields they are both preserved between restarts of About Me.
Indeed. Might this new behavior be related to the update to 2.12.1?
This is no longer a problem with 2.14. I would close the bug but I dont have sufficient privelages.
closing ...
I don't know why it would work for some, but the bug continues to exist, unchanged in 2.14 for me.
ok, reopening them, i will really try to fix it in the following week, once easter is over.

I can still reproduce this as of gnome 2.20. The same behavior as described in comment 1.

2008-04-25 Jens Granseuer <jensgr@gmx.net> * gnome-about-me.c: (about_me_destroy), (about_me_update_email), (about_me_commit), (about_me_focus_out), (about_me_setup_email), (about_me_load_string_field), (about_me_setup_dialog): rebuild email addresses completely when saving. The email fields are synthetic in e-d-s which means they might be reshuffled at will so we never know quite where the address we saved at pos 3 will end up. This should finally fix problems with the home address not being saved, and addresses being swapped or the like (bug #317835)
