            Bug ID: 328449
           Summary: kaddressbook copy and paste contacts is broken badly
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.11
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: VCard dir resource
          Assignee: tokoe at kde.org
          Reporter: hpj at urpla.net

A usual operation with contacts is to copy a contact and adjust the copied
contact, e.g. adjust name and email address of a college of some business
contact.

Doing so with current kde4 addressbook is badly broken in this respect. 

I'm using several contact sources, the one in question is a vcard folder,
shared with KDE3 desktops, but it also happens with folders managed by akonadi,
e.g. ~/.local/share/contacts/, as well as ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf, hence
I believe, it's a general kaddressbook (or akonadi) issue.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an address, and copy it via context menu
2. paste address to this addressbook via context menu
Actual Results:  
The contact appears twice for a short time, but if you edit one to adjust name
and email address, the original contact is _replaced_ by the new one. This is
not, what copying contacts is about. 

Expected Results:  
Both contacts should be available steadily.
