Seriously, I fail to see how this is a duplicate of 326788. Even more, given comment 1. REOPENing. Raising Priority and Severity, adding usability keyword. Adding Sushma to the Cc list. Not displaying new created contacts is a serious usability issue.
Found the real duplicate by coincidence. Sometimes it is amazing which results you get while searching for unrelated issues... :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 326721 ***
marking as duplicate of 326788 was a mistake. and since maintainer's id has my name, removing it from CC.
I know that feeling, Sushma. :)
