Logfile evolution started with CAMEL_DEBUG=all WEBDAV_DEBUG=1 evolution >& evo.log

Starting a new email, I cannot add one or more addressbook entries after selecting the "To:", "CC:" or any similar field. The list shown here on the left side is simply empty, though one or more contacts in the addressbook exist. The bug shows up with Evolution 3.6.0 and 3.6.2, but not under 3.4.4. Verified on distros Arch Linux (recent), XUbuntu 12.10 and 13.04. I was not able to test under 3.7.1.

Could you attach a screenshot of that dialog too?
Comment 2 schollsky 2012-11-16 19:02:54 UTC
Yes, please. Here's a screenshot. The list of contacts on the left side is empty, but the addressbook is not.

You need to search for something before any contacts are shown.
Comment 5 schollsky 2012-11-16 21:18:30 UTC
This is not as I know this feature from evolution 3.4.4. Besides, there's no means to get any hit with the search feature. Whatever I search for, the list remains empty.
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2012-11-20 18:53:22 UTC
I can confirm this. I see this when I:
a) open evolution
b) Ctrl+Shift+M for a new message composer
c) click To: button

Then the dialog opens with preselected On This Computer/Personal
addressbook, but the list of contacts is empty. I can workaround this by changing to other book and back, after that the content of Personal book is shown in the bottom left side of the dialog.

eds patch

for evolution-data-server;

It's broken since this commit [1], basically. The old code had an advantage to invoke source_changed() callback, which populates list of contacts.
