unable to edit new views in contacts

Thanks for your report.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488979

the problem is still there

I use the German language

I can confirm that bug also for the calendar view.

I am working with Hardy (AMD64) an Evolution 2.22.1.1

Contact now are working properly with version 2.24.2. I am working with Intrepid I386.

But the problem still exists at the calendar view.

Is this still an issue with Evolution 2.26 ?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Closing this bug since no further information has been provided. Please reopen the bug if it the problem persists. Thanks.

I am using Evolution 2.28.1 and the bug is there, please let me know what additional information you need. This address book is a imported address book from outlook. What I was trying to do is to create a view that I could print with only the info I require, like removing gender, initials, priority private, sensitivity, family name, given name, etc, .... Thought that view would do it for me like outlook.

Thank you for your reply. I copied your comment to the upstream bug so the developer of the software know about it.

gyme2, I overlooked that your problem is actually different to this bug. Upstream pointed me to bgo #556524, so you may follow the progress of your bug there. Thanks.

As far as the original bug is concerned, I can reproduce it, but only if you choose "Card View" when creating your own view. "Table" is not affected by this problem (evolution 2.28.1).

I can't find #556524

Uh, sorry. That should have been https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556524. I had in mind launchpad automatically converts 'bgo #NO' to be a link to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=NO'.

I think there were two parts to my original comment:
1. Define a new view say "newview" and then click edit and nothing happens the menu just stays there.
2. The second was #556524

I am attaching a screen capture showing some weird behavior of the view editor.

View ->Current View->Define Views

New : Name Appel
          Type Month View

Apple appears in Define Views For Calendar
click edit button on right
Nothing happens

delete Apple

make Banana of type Table
the moment I click OK it comes up with a list of fields to edit.

So trying to make your own Monthly view (or if I read above and other correct anything but a table view) is not possible.

:(
