Regression: New Contact
and New List
went missing from address book context menu (in main AB tab)
This makes creating a new contact in an address book which isn't currently selected a bit of a click feast:
STR
- Have custom address books, e.g.
My AB 1
,My AB 2
etc. - Select
All Address Books
from directory pane - Try to create a new contact in
My AB 1
Actual
- TB 102: 4 clicks
- click on
New contact
button from AB toolbar - click on AB selector at the bottom
- select target AB from list (
My AB 1
) - click into
First Name
to to place caret cursor before you can start typing
- click on
Expected
- Restore AB context menu entries for
New Contact
andNew List
- Via context menu (as in TB 91): 2 clicks
- right-click on any target AB
- click
New Contact
from context menu
- This also makes for a much better workflow if you happen to start out with one particular AB selected (vs.
All Address Books
), and create a new contact in another AB, as the latter will be automatically shown on right-click (but not shown in 102 where you cannot start with right-click).
I'm not sure if the old strings are still around, so this may require new strings (thus P1).

Here's the screenshots comparing TB 102 and TB 91 (featuring the useful menus which went missing now).

This isn't really about those menu items, but about the lack of distinction of selected vs. which item right clicked. Now right click also means the item gets selected, which it really shouldn't.
