The home address in the About Me dialog overrides the Work Address

[David Courtney]

Please describe the problem:
The home address in the About Me dialog overrides the Work Address if the work
email ield is left blank and the home email friend is sometimes empty.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the About Me Dialog
2. Enter an email address in the 'home email' field.
3. Leave the work email address field blank
4. Close to save
5. Re-open the About Me Dialog

Actual results:
You will observe that the home email field is now blank while the work email
field contains the actual home email address.

They seemingly have swapped information

I cant seem to replicate this error. I followed your instructions closely and About Me still saves my input even when I tabbed between fields.

Is there anymore information you can gives us about this bug?

How did you install Dapper? with the desktop cd?

Yes ... I've played around with it quite a bit more and have learned
the following:

I noticed that my subsequent trips into the About Me box were
successfully saving data in *some* of the fields without me hitting
enter. So it seems as though the problem is most obvious on a fresh
install.

I can repeatedly reproduce the original problem by creating a new user
account (which creates a fresh home directory). With the new user, go
to About Me, type in some data, but only tab between the fields ... do
not hit enter. Then click close. Go back to About Me and all the
data you typed in will be lost.

If you then fill out the data again, even if you only tab between
fields, it will *then* be saved. So it seems as though the first time
you close About Me, it initializes something so that your subsequent
trips into About Me will work "properly".

I say "properly" because even after About Me starts saving the data, I
still have the problem where the e-mail addresses are saved
incorrectly. The information I type into the Home e-mail address is
saved to the Work e-mail address *IF* there is no data in the work
e-mail address field. IF the work e-mail address field is populated,
then the home e-mail address is saved where it's supposed to be.

The work e-mail address is saved correctly whether you have anything
entered into the home e-mail address field or not.

Yes, I used the desktop CD.

Thank you for replying too and you are correct. I have been able to
reproduce this bug from your instructions. It seems that this only happens
once and only once when attempting to put information in the 'about me'
section.

Thanks for the bug report, consider this bug report confirmed.

Did you also confirm the persistent problem with the e-mail address
fields? That particular part of the bug is not a one time only
problem.

[Dwight Shepherd (dwight-shepherd)]

The second half of your bug report has been confirmed also. It seems that if
the work address is empty and the home address is filled the values are
swapped.

Bug confirmed
