           Summary: Impossible to type in the 'Display' line edit from the
                    'New Contact' dialogue.
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch Kontact and go to KAB
- Select an address book and create a contact (Name and Surname)
- the 'Display' line edit gets filled automatically as you enter the 'Name'
- click in the 'Display' line edit to modify its entry.

Nothing happens. It is impossible to type in the line edit. 
So I think it is misleading to have a line edit there. Maybe there should be a
combo box instead, given that if you right click on the 'Display' line edit a
context menu appears.

Also it was not clear to me that the 'Display' functionality would not only be
used for display in KAB but also when sorting or printing. 
So maybe there could be a title to the context menu or a tool tip saying that
this field will be used in all those cases: 'The selected option will be used
for displaying, sorting and printing the contact'

Before realizing this I assumed that sorting and printing would been made
according to surnames.
But that would narrow possibilities a lot.
