Bug ID: 297541
Severity: normal
Version: unspecified
Priority: NOR
CC: tokoe at kde.org
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Summary: kaddressbook doesn't handle line breaks correctly in
the notes field.
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: divan at s-tainment.co.za
Hardware: Archlinux Packages
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: kaddressbook
SUMMARY
If one creates a contact on a platform that creates a contact with the notes
field filled in as per below syntax:
$ cat Firstname_Surname.vcf
BEGIN:VCARD
EMAIL:"Firstname Surname" <Firstname.Surname at example.org>
FN:Firstname Surname
N:Surname;Firstname;;;
NOTE:This is line one of the notes field\\NThis is line two of the notes fi
eld\\NThis is line three of the notes field
UID:8e548460-3843-4e39-9d71-19c7dad93864:521756
VERSION:3.0
END:VCARD
Then it doesn't correctly display the line breaks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a contact with the notes field populated as per:
NOTE:This is line one of the notes field\\NThis is line two of the notes fi
eld\\NThis is line three of the notes field
Instead of the norm(whatever that is):
One can do this by
a) An Android phone syncing with Kontact via Zimbra
b) create the contact on a groupware server like Zimbra
or rather (and ease to reproduce this problem)
c) Simply import a contact formulated in this manner.
Import this contact:
$ cat Firstname_Surname.vcf
BEGIN:VCARD
EMAIL:"Firstname Surname" <Firstname.Surname at example.org>
FN:Firstname Surname
N:Surname;Firstname;;;
NOTE:This is line one of the notes field\\NThis is line two of the notes fi
eld\\NThis is line three of the notes field
UID:8e548460-3843-4e39-9d71-19c7dad93864:521756
VERSION:3.0
END:VCARD
WHAT HAPPENS
2. View this contact in kaddress book. You notice the notes field is not nicely
displayed in kaddressbook search view. Rather you see

This is line one of the notes field\NThis is line two of the notes field\NThis
