evolution1.5-1.5.8.0.200405281008-0.snap.ximian.8.1: if i enter 
nothing, evolution's ok button is greyed out. if i enter something and 
then delete it again, the ok button does not get greyed out again 
(this works when using contact *lists* btw, so please copy that code ;
-). then if i click the ok button, a popup window reminds me that 
"File as" is not allowed to be empty, but the field which is meant is 
labelled "File under" and not "File as"!
therefore adding UI keyword because of described inconsistency.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-01-20 12:49:06 UTC
still valid in evolution-2.1.3.2.0.200501160930-0.snap.ximian.10.1.
Comment 3 Sivaiah 2005-02-19 15:41:10 UTC
the decribed ui inconistency is fixed 
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-02-28 22:47:09 UTC
siva: yes, *only* the "file under" vs "file as" is fixed. the broken 
inaccessible OK button still exists, therefore reopening.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-03-24 15:18:22 UTC
