Just tested your fixed package, and the issue does indeed seem to be gone now, although I'm having dependency issues where dpkg complains about sflphone-common is missing (and from what I can see, no such package exists in the ubuntu repos).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fix uploaded to utopic and trusty

Needs ~ubuntu-sru to approve it to get into trusty-proposed

Needs a test case added

Needs testers to check the fix in -proposed

Hello, thanks for taking a look

An automated test case is not possible (as it will freeze instead of failing) so here is a manual one:

1) Add some "vcard" contacts in KAddressbook (necessary)
2) Import a gmail contact list in KAddressbook (necessary)
3) Open the old sflphone-kde client
4) It will freeze
5) Install the new package
6) Enjoy this softphone!

Users alreayd tested the .deb above. The only difference is that it is based upon the stable PPA rather than the upsteam (debian) sflphone daemon package. Other than that the package is identical. So it is up to you, we can wait for more tests, but it most probably wont change anything at this point. We also reproduced the issue internally at Savoir-faire Linux when my colleagues upgraded to 14.04 and they are happy with the fix ever since.

This bug was fixed in the package sflphone - 1.3.0-1ubuntu2
