Description Rodd Clarkson 2004-02-20 00:56:03 UTC
Description of Problem:

The Contact View at the bottom of the contact list uses the space available
badly, and should be reconfigured to present using the available horizontal
space.

Currently all the details are listed vertically, often needing a scroll bar
to present all the details, while there is a large amount of white space to
the right that could be used.

For example, your could present the information in three columns, one with
web related data (email, web addres), one with work information, and
another with personal information.

I'll attach a screen shot so you can see what I'm seeing.
