Hello, the addressbook "new entry" window and a email text window are not accessable at the same time, thus it is not possible to copy information from a email to a new contact. regards, Knut
It works for me. Do I misunderstand what you mean?
I think I understand. When creating or modifying an address book entry, I can see the main window, but I can't select any text, so I can't copy-paste email addresses, for instance. I must either - read and copy "manually" (no copy-paste) or - copy what I need before opening the address book entry or - close the entry each time I need to copy some text, and re-open it afterwards to paste that text. I would be nice if text was selectable during that phase.
Created attachment 757 [details] Unset modal to edit person details window
That's because the Edit Person Details window is set as modal. Probably there's a reason to be in this way, otherwise the patch fixes it.
I can't see a reason why the dialog should be modal either. Anyone against applying Salvatore's patch?
