Revision history [back]

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing quite an annoying bug in the contacts app: I've got two contacts with very similar names, say e.g. Martin Obermann and Martina Obermann. When I first imprted these contacts from a vcf, all data of both (i.e. both phone numbers, addresses, etc.) were joined into "Martina Obermann". When I manually delete both and try to add them one after the other, the second one will never appear in the list of contacts after saving. Trying to narrow it down, it seems that it always fails to add a contact whenever the last name is identical and the first is a substring of the second contact: I already have "Martina Obermann" in the list. Adding of "Martin Obermann", "Mart Obermann", or "Mar Obermann" fails, whereas "Martinus Obermann" works.

Tried searching this forum but didn't find a similar report. Am I the only one or is this a general bug?
