Yes ... I've played around with it quite a bit more and have learned the following: I noticed that my subsequent trips into the About Me box were successfully saving data in *some* of the fields without me hitting enter. So it seems as though the problem is most obvious on a fresh install. I can repeatedly reproduce the original problem by creating a new user account (which creates a fresh home directory). With the new user, go to About Me, type in some data, but only tab between the fields ... do not hit enter. Then click close. Go back to About Me and all the data you typed in will be lost. If you then fill out the data again, even if you only tab between fields, it will *then* be saved. So it seems as though the first time you close About Me, it initializes something so that your subsequent trips into About Me will work "properly". I say "properly" because even after About Me starts saving the data, I still have the problem where the e-mail addresses are saved incorrectly. The information I type into the Home e-mail address is saved to the Work e-mail address *IF* there is no data in the work e-mail address field. IF the work e-mail address field is populated, then the home e-mail address is saved where it's supposed to be. The work e-mail address is saved correctly whether you have anything entered into the home e-mail address field or not. > How did you install Dapper? with the desktop cd? > Yes, I used the desktop CD. -- System -> Prefernces -> About Me does not work https://launchpad.net/bugs/48180 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
