Hi,

Has this issue arrived after the upgrade? Before the upgrade things were 
working fine?

I have KDE 3.5.7 release 43.1 on SuSE 10.1.

I have no trouble editing the contact's name event if it was just the email 
added originally. In my setup I have selected the "Formated Name" column to 
be visible in Address Book, so I have to edit also what formatting to be used 
on the name in order to see it.

How exactly are you trying to "add" the name? There is the "Edit Name" button 
and a text box right next to it for quick editing.

Best regards
