Kaddressbook won't start (stuck with select main mail address)

[Julien Aubin]

Binary package hint: kdepim

Under Kubuntu Jauntu :

- DO: start Kontact.
- DO: go to the contact view
- EXPECT: if you have contacts (at least your first one with several mail addresses), you should be stuck with a dialog box prompting you to choose the default mail address of the first contact of your address book. You never exit from this dialog box until the whole Kontact app crashes.

---
If first contact in list has more than one email address, a dialog window prompts user to select one of the email addresses. When I clicked OK several times, I was able to use the contacts list. Reducing the first (default) entry to one email address mitigated the issue, but any other contacts with multiple email addresses did the same when selected. And was sometimes prompted several time on exit as well.
