I can't think of anything that has changed that could cause this. I have two suggestions: 1. rename the /home/user/.mycontacts folder to something else. It will reset the application but you won't have access to anything you created before (settings/groups/style sheets) but will give us a good clue to find the bug. 2. after trying #1 if the problem persists send (PM) me the /home/user/.mycontacts/log.txt file and I will look for some clues.
