Now, when I edit a contact and try to change the picture, I am only offered the options "Facebook" or from gallery. And if I choose Facebook, for instance, this overwrites the original picture and I can no longer choose the original picture synchronised by MfE.

Is this intentional? Or a limitation set by the MfE client? The picture change is obviously only done locally, I see it's still unchanged on Google contacts...so changing it back should be possible, right?

Edit I just noticed that as soon as I sync again with MfE, the pictures get replaced with their google originals, overwriting my local changes.
After checking, the bug stems from the way mfe contacts are handled (as local contacts), so when you pick a new avatar the current "local" avatar is lost. Changing this now would be a consequent change, and the management decided not to go for it (the issue was discussed recently) :-(
