            Bug ID: 304481
          Severity: critical
           Version: 4.8.x
          Priority: NOR
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

           Summary: Kontact-4.8.3 deletes contacts that are created using
                    the Copy contact... command, after machine reboot
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: joulupukin.tontut at yandex.ru
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: contacts
           Product: kontact

Sometimes, some of my contacts disappear from Kontact addressbook. I have
noticed that one predictable mechanism is the following (steps below) related
to copying a contact. Then, while both the original contact and the newly
created contact are both available during the same session, after I reboot my
machine either the original or the newly entered contact have disappeared.

I don't use "kaddressbook as a standalone application", so I'm not sure if this
is the right category for bug filing - please move as appropriate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open your addressbook, which contains at least one folder with one contact
in it.
2. Make a copy of the contact into the same folder, by dragging it with the
mouse from the middle pane to the folders pane and holding CTRL: (Or by
selecting Copy contact... from the menu that pops up after dragging onto the
same folder.)
3. Now you have two identical contacts in the list. Double-click to edit one of
them, rename it etc.
4. Reboot machine and open Kontact.

Actual Results:  
The contacts should both be there in the same way they were shown when I quit
Kontact.

Expected Results:  
One of them has disappeared.

This is an addressbook that was created in Kontact with the "Add addressbook ->
Personal addressbook" option selected. The only configuration options for this
addressbook are the folder location (something like home/.local/share/...) and
whether read-only. Read-only is not checked.
