Last modified: 2013-09-17 06:18:35 UTC
Steps To Reproduce: 1. Add WebDAV addressbook using link in owncloud instance (I used my.owndrive.com) 2. Create a contact in the addressbook 3. Fill in first and last name 4. Save the contact Result: contact 'File as' field contact contains extra slash before comma: "Taylor\, Adam" Expected: "File As" field doesn't contain extra signs: "Taylor, Adam" In exported VCard file-as has 3 slashes: X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS:Taylor\\\, Adam Reproduced on evolution-data-server-3.7.92-1.fc20.x86_64
Reproduced in evolution-3.8.2
(In reply to comment #1) > Reproduced in evolution-3.8.2 I can confirm that I have seen the same bug on several different Ubuntu 13.04 installations with Evolution 3.8.2 from the Gnome PPA.
This is a bug on the ownCloud server. Please see [RFC6350], the ABNF form defines 'value' as one of the value types, and the one for 'text' is defined as: > text = *TEXT-CHAR > > TEXT-CHAR = "\\" / "\," / "\n" / WSP / NON-ASCII > / %x21-2B / %x2D-5B / %x5D-7E > ; Backslashes, commas, and newlines must be encoded. (see the last line, which evolution-data-server properly follows). [RFC6350] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350#section-4
