GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 446870
Duplicate/merge contact dialog: "custom creation widget failed"
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:55:52 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 Other information:

Created attachment 89840 [details] [review] this is the patch for the bug 446870 the size and the err msg is being corrected in the patch
this does not fix the "custom widget creation failed" issue - see bug 440329. this also fixes bug 440328.
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 :)
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 ....
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? ;-)
you gotto see what case the widget creation fails. It should solve most of the issues.
