GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346109
Newly added contact are not available for autocompletion
Last modified: 2006-07-03 02:57:55 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I have just added a new contact through right-clicking on a mail address in a mail, I cannot use that address for autocompletion or through searching in the Contacts UNTIL I restart evolution and the data server. Steps to reproduce: I do the following: 1. Add contect by rightclicking on an email address in a mail. 2. Compose new mail 3a. in the to: field, begin entering first 3-4 letters of name, OR 3b. Click the "To" button to search for name 4. No match! 5. exit evolution, restart 6. Try 3a or 3b again - No match 7. Exit evolution 8. evolution --force-shutdown, restart 9. Try 3a or 3b again - both work! Actual results: I don't get a match when searching in the addressbook for my newly added contact. Expected results: I expect to see my newly added contact. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I've been having this problem for quite a while. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper, evo 2.6.1, plus some Edgy packages. I also have the "Always crash on exit" issue (Bug #272556), if that might be related.
I could also mention that my addressbook was originally created by importing a .vcf file exported from thunderbird.
