           Summary: Editing existing contact creates new contact in other
                    address book
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: tokoe kde org
        ReportedBy: frans.englich telia com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I have two resources:

* One stored in an IMAP account(Kolab XML)
* a standard file "resource"[1]

When editing an existing contact(the snail mail address, to be precise) the contact being edited is copied and added to the file resource, such that I end up with two contacts. One is just as before the editing, and the other contains the changes.

I would expect the original contact to be modified, regardless of any settings for what "default address book" that is configured(or whatever).


Cheers,
Frans

Not that I want it. It keeps popping up because KAddressBook can't figure out I don't want it when I delete and I must apparently manually mark the other one as "default"(which I don't know how to do. It seems like the manual needs an update here, and the usability problems in 87029 applies too).
