            Bug ID: 299418
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified

           Summary: A duplicate contact address in the Contacts
                    application of KDE Kontact disappears after it has
                    been copied and pasted into the same address book
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: sayeed.ka at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kaddressbook

1. An existing contact in the address book of the Contact application of KDE
Kontact was copied and pasted into the same address book in order to edit it to
create a similar contact.

2. A short while (about 5 seconds) after pasting, it disappears spontaneously. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a contact from an address book in the Contacts application of KDE
Kontact.
2. Paste it into the same address book.
3. Wait for about 5 seconds and observe the pasted contact.
Actual Results:  
1. The copied contact disappears.

Expected Results:  
1. The copied contact must remain permanently in the address book so that it
can be used as a template and edited in order to create a different contact
entry of similar content in the same address book. 

1. The computer system uses Kubuntu 12.04.

2.This is a serious problem because it reduces the efficiency of the address
book.

3. Previous versions of KDE Kontact did not have this problem.

4. Furthermore, in previous versions of KDE Kontact it ws possible to mail a
contact without having to export it first (see version 4.3.2.). This feature
seems to have also disappeared in the current version. 

5. Also, in previous versions of KDE Kontact (see version 4.3.2), the contact
form had an "Apply" button which was extremely useful in saving information
without closing the form. This feature has disappeared from the current
version.

6. In summary, the current KDE Kontact seems to have regressed in relation to
previous versions instead progressing and becoming more stable and having
richer functionality. This is very unfortunate.
