Description vinod 2007-06-12 20:24:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In Evolution Version 2.11.2
  when in Contacts trying to add an duplicate entry(when already contact name exists) i.e adding contact entry
  the ..
   the duplicate conflict window (** Duplicate Contact Detected window**) that  
    shoots up .. does not show the error message appropriately
    which gets it difficult for the user to understand the message ....
    
    the err message goes something like this ( The name of email address of this
      in this folder. would you like to )

    here the window has to be resized manually to see the err message , which is 
    sometimes not a convinent one ... 

   
    

Steps to reproduce:
1. add a new contact 
2. add another duplicate contact following the new contact 
3. the problem repeats


Actual results:


Expected results:
the window should automatically display the entire err message completely 
without having being resized manually 

Does this happen every time?
the problem occurs everytime

this does not fix the "custom widget creation failed" issue - see bug 440329.
this also fixes bug 440328.
Comment 4 vinod 2007-06-13 14:40:45 UTC 
andre , when trying to copy and paste the same contact , the [custom widget creation failed ] does not seems to repeat , it works fine :) , so will be working on that .... Got to make that widget come back :)
Comment 5 vinod 2007-06-13 17:19:18 UTC 
in contd..with comment4 : now that's strange , the custome widget shows up sometimes occassionally , not on all the occassions ... okay will continue work on that  ....
Comment 6 André Klapper 2007-06-14 06:45:14 UTC 
what i ask myself: do we really need to change the size?
what about fixing the widget creation error first and then realizing that the size fix is not needed at all? ;-)
Comment 7 Srinivasa Ragavan 2007-06-14 09:56:48 UTC 
you gotto see what case the widget creation fails. It should solve most of the issues.
