Home Phone and Other Phone duplicated

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you attach a small example to the bug?

I'm running 7.10, Gutsy. It's easily duplicated by creating a new contact and defining just the Home Phone. So far, I've only noticed the problem on the minicard view. I can post a screenshot later when I'm in front of my PC.

Here's screenshots

Just found out it happens in the other views, too: Phone List and By Company. Just had to add the Other Phone field to the view.

BTW, I'd like to try to fix this myself. I've been programming for over 20 years, but have never contributed to an opensource project before. This might be a nice way to get started. The only problem is after 3 days (spare time) of playing around with the source, I'm no closer to figuring out how the data flows from the address book file to the screen. Is there a document online that could give me a nudge in the right direction?

I know that by the time the reflow function is called for the minicard, the Other Phone field is already set. But, it's not defined in the addressbook store file and doesn't show up in the contact editor. It's being set somewhere along the way...

Thanks

Thanks for filling this upstream.

This bug is still in hardy in this evolution version:

Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.0-1

I can confirm I have the same bug on Evolution 2.22.2 / Ubuntu 8.04.

I hate when people add twenty comments that say "me too," but I my situation is unique enough that it may help you fix this bug. I have a Treo 680, and when I use gnome-pilot to sync up to Evolution (I do not believe this happens when I only copy from the Treo), it also duplicates the home phone to "other phone" field, which is unremovable in Evolution.

I am getting the same effect.

I am synchronising my contacts with opensync to my Blackberry

Do you wish me to send any other info?

Communication with an exchange server is also affected by this bug. When I work online and add a new contact with a home or business phone number it immediately shows up with other phone added. When I delete the other phone on the server using the web interface I lose one additional phone number in what evolution displays. Preference is to swallow business numbers first. When I delete the other phone using evolution the additional phone number is also lost on the server.

This bug is fixed in intrepid in evolution 2.24.
