GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317815
Changing contact middle name unsaveable
Last modified: 2005-10-06 18:14:11 UTC
Distribution: Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy) Package: Evolution Priority: Minor Version: GNOME2.12.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu Synopsis: Changing contact middle name unsaveable Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Contacts [was: Addressbook] Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: When a user wants to add the middle name to the last name field the changes are unsaveable because the full name does not change. Example: First name: Edmund Middle name: von Last name: Blackadder Full name: Edmund von Blackadder When one wants to make the word 'von' part of the last name the full name does not change and the changes cannot be saved. Example: First name: Edmund Middle name: Last name: von Blackadder Full name: Edmund von Blackadder A workaround can be done by saving the last name as 'vonBlackadder' (one word) so the full name is changed. After the full name is changed one can change the names as one likes. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start Evolution 2. Enter Contacts 3. Follow example above (Description of problem) Actual Results: The name cannot be saved. Expected Results: The name should be saved. How often does this happen? Everytime i try. Additional Information: Using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger Colony 5 x85 (all updates) and Evolution 2.4.0 ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@gnome.bugs 2005-10-03 11:09 UTC -------
I created a contact with first name: Edmund second name: von and last name: Blackadder and saved it. Again edited it in full name dialog as first name: Edmund second name: last name: von Blackadder file as (File under) name changes and Ok button gets enabled. So I can save the changes. Am I missing anything?
I am sorry if I was unclear in this. - First you create the contact; - Then you edit the contact. Not in the full name text field but in the dialog with the first, middle, last name text boxes; - Click OK in the dialog to write the changes to the full name text field on the add/edit contact window; - The button OK on the add/edit contact window will be disabled because the full name has not changed; If I am still not clear I could make some screenshots. Thank you for you help!
this works prefectly fine. Ok button on editor gets enabled on saving modifications (which doesn't alter full name) in full name dialog. when you delete 2nd name and modify last name, file under value also changes. (from "Blackadder, Edmund" to "von Blackadder, Edmund"), and OK button gets enabled. (Note: my evolution version is 2.4.x)
dennis: does the OK button get enabled after switching window focus to some other window and back again? which window manager are you using? could be something similar to bug 303856.
I can't seem to reproduce the bug. It probably got fixed in one of the many updates the last days. I will try to reproduce it the next few day but if nothing else comes up, consider it fixed.
dennis: thanks for your answer, closing this as fixed. please reopen if you can reproduce.
