[Kolab-devel] [issue1662] "Firstname Lastname1 Lastname2" problems with LDAP import and completion

[Thomas Arendsen Hein]

New submission from Thomas Arendsen Hein <thomas at intevation.de>:

With KK Debian/sarge packages of Kontact Version 1.0 (proko2 branch 2.1.6):

My name looks like "Firstname Lastname1 Lastname2" (Thomas Arendsen Hein),
which can be entered without problems in the Kolab web admin interface.

When importing the address via LDAP into kontact (IMAP resource, but probably
the same problem with local resource), kontact joins first and last and then
tries to split it again, of course getting it wrong by assuming "Firstname
Lastname1" to be the first name and "Lastname2" to be the last name.

This can be corrected manually using the "Edit Contact" dialog, setting "Given
name" to "Firstname" and "Family names" (already uses plural form!) to
"Lastname1 Lastname2".

But when using the auto completion (for composing mail or inviting attendees), I
can only search for "Firstname" or "Lastname2", but not for "Lastname1".

Additionally the name is displayed as "Lastname2, Firstname Lastname1" when
searching for Lastname2.
