By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Russell Brown 2019-02-06 04:16:46 CST 
kaddressbook sometimes corrupts distribution lists in ~/.trinity/share/apps/tdeabc/std.vcf

It looses the '\,' between each UID in the list which makes the list unusable as the list members UID appears as their email address.

Here's a diff showing the before and after:

Restoring the '\,' between each UID by hand makes the DistributionList usable again.

Sorry I don't know how to make kaddressbook do this but it's happened to at least three of our users in the last couple of weeks.

Qt: 3.5.0
TDE: R14.0.6 [DEVELOPMENT]
KAddressBook: 3.5.13

Debian stretch.

While some might class this as just 'annoying' it's *very* annoying for people who lose multiple distribution lists each with 10's of members :-(
