This is a downstream report of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/-/issues/247 by mcatanzaro, filed for blocker tracking purposes. As Michael described there, the "Link Contacts" feature does not work at all: "If I link two contacts together, the result is supposed to be one contact with the contact details of both previous contacts. But with Contacts 42.0, the result is instead three contacts, one with the contact details of both contacts, and two with no contact details. If I then restart Contacts, I see the two original contacts as they were before I attempted to link them. So we get: 2 contacts -> 3 contacts -> restart -> 2 contacts But expected behavior is: 2 contacts -> 1 contact" I can more or less reproduce this with 43.0. When I do the initial link, I don't see exactly what Michael saw; instead I see two identical contacts with the information from both the original contacts. But if I then restart Contacts, I see exactly what Michael saw: the original two contacts are back to their original states. So I get: 2 contacts -> 2 identical merged contacts -> restart -> 2 original contacts
Proposing as a Final blocker, as a violation of the "basic functionality" requirement applied to all pre-installed apps on Workstation. This seems like fairly basic functionality for a contacts app.
Discussed during the 2022-10-03 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedBlocker was made: "For Fedora Workstation on the x86_64 architecture, all applications installed by default which can be launched from the Activities menu must meet ...basic functionality... requirement" [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2022-10-03/f37-blocker-review.2022-10-03-16.00.log.txt
Of course we do want to fix this feature, but for now we'll just hide it so the app is not obviously broken.
