1657837 - Problems with Edit/Add new contact dialog caused by TBSync addon/CardDAV address book: too large, odd field labels (__DAV4TBSYNCMSG_abCard.*__), etc.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Andreas]

Attachment: TbSync_New Contact.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36 Edg/84.0.522.52

Steps to reproduce:

I have TB78.1.1 with the installed add-ons TbSync and Provider for CalDAV and CardDAV.
Open the address book, select an address book which is connected to TbSync and open the New Contact dialog.

Actual results:

The dialog to create a new contact has a large width and the first labels and fields are out of their position.

Expected results:

The dialog should have the same size like the ones for address books from TB.
I don't know if this is a Thunderbird or TbSync bug, but since this was reproducibly introduced with the update to TB 78.1.1, I report it here.

That would be something for TbSync to fix

Correct. Bug in TbSync. Hope to get to it soon. Caused by changed UI in 78.1.1 and now my legacy XUL injection code no longer properly works.

The symptoms of problems duped here look pretty different from attachment 9168714 [details], but in the same arena. Adjusting summary to match reality.
