Bug Description

when adding contacts to kaddressbook, the email field can not be pasted into. Even worse, when we click [...] and create new email address, that field also can not be pasted into. Wtf.

Also saving addresses from kmail doesn't work (on this box) so kmail has most uncomfortable email completion since 1999 or so...

Lucid proposed.

ii kmail 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1

hm ok, rather - the paste is allowed, but is it stupidly filtered, so that copy/paste from kmail (as work around for kmail's bug in accessing kaddressbook) does nothing.

But pasting only the address part in pure form x@y.z (instead of <x@y.z> etc) works.

Marking Low -> Triaged since there's an upstream bug. I think this is already fixed in Maverick, but need a Kubuntu dev to confirm.
