Viewing Google Contacts, does not show birthday and does not copy.

[lpd]

Binary package hint: evolution

I've added my Google Contacts as an Address Book. I have lots of contacts with birthdays. In Evolution the birthdays don't show.

Copying an Evolution Contact with birthday to Google address book does not copy the birthday.

Screenshot from Evolution, same contact.

Steps:

1. Create a contact in Gmail with a birth date.

2. Add your Gmail contacts to Evolution (add new Contacts, choose Gmail and fill in your username etc.)

3. Find the new contact (created in Gmail) in Evolution - Contacts - Google - YourCalendar

In my case, the birth date is missing, consistently in all contacts.

4. Try to copy the new contact to you Personal Contacts, you will find that, again, birth date does not show.
