(status change overwrote my previous comment) This problem is definitely present in Gutsy, evolution 2.12.1-0ubuntu1
Steps to reproduce 1. Under Edit->Preferences->Autocompletion, make sure remote address book is not selected (LDAP/exchange GAL) 2. start new email, bring up the "select contacts from address book" dialog by clicking on "To:" or "Cc:" 3. select the address book from step 1 (ie not an autocompletion one). Problem occurs here. Password dialog is displayed for the remote address book, however the "select contacts" dialog keeps focus under *all* circumstances - even if window manager shows the dialog as having focus). This makes entering the password impossible - any password typed appears in the Search field of the select contacts dialog. workaround: close the "select contacts" dialog (not the password dialog). now enter the password for the remote address book in the password dialog and select ok. bring up the "select contacts" dialog again by clicking on To: or Cc:, it is now possible to select addresses from the remote address book. possible fix: the "select contacts" dialog should lose focus if a password dialog is displayed. -- Can't type in password if LDAP address book isn't default in "Select Conteact from Address Book" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
