Duplicate Sametime contact added after ambiguous user ID is entered

[evands]

When adding a contract (Contact > Add Contact...) and the username is typed in (ex. john.doe@…) and then click Add, a "ghost" user is added to the contact list. At the same time that this user is added, a dialog stating that an "ambiguous user ID was entered" and gives a selection of who it thought you were trying to add. The SameTime ID that it finds is usually the correct LDAP entry (in our case CN=John Doe,OU=NBC,O=GeneralElectric), but when the user clicks OK on that, then Add on the Add Contact dialog, a SECOND -- BUT CORRECT -- entry is entered.

I added the "adium sametime bug.pdf" to show the bug in action.

Still happening in 1.2.5?

Yes. Still Happening in 1.2.5.

OS X 10.4.11

In the "Add Contact" window, I type a username in the "User Name" field. I can also enter the Alias and Group name, but I've found that to be a waste of time.

Adium then pops up the "Select User" window. I select the correct entry from the list, then select "Add".

The "Add Contact" windows then pops up again with the correct LDAP entry in the "User Name" field. However, the Alias is blanked out and the Group name is incorrect.

I then (re)enter the correct Alias and Group name and select the "Add" button.

Adium then pops up the "Select User" window again. At this point I exit the "Select User" window without selecting anything. I also have to exit out of the "Add Contact" window which is still active.

I then have two entries in my Contact List for this contact. One has the correct LDAP entry, one doesn't.

Ok, thanks! :)
