[Bug 1415291] [NEW] KRecursiveFilterProxyModel: The model was not working properly

[hefee]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

This patch should be included as it fixes a critical bug in kdelibs
which renders Kontact unable to show user data. The data is actually
there, but not visible or accessible to the user, and therefore is often
perceived as a data loss issue.

The patch itself is small (-11/+5 lines), contained entirely in private
code in the affected library, and comes with a unit test to ensure
quality.

There is a approved upstream review request to include:

        https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120119/

The bug it fixes continues to affect users.

So despite waiting for upstream response, it is already being packaged in Fedora packages as well as being shipped to large institutional users (at least one of which uses a Debian OS as the desktop client) by downstream 
companies such as Kolab Systems. At debian it got into jessie http://bugs.debian.org/775114

By including this well-tested and already deployed patch, Ubuntu can
ensure that users relying on Kontact working well (among other KDE
applications which use this same functionality) will not need to go
elsewhere (e.g. another downstream) for a patched version of the kdelibs
package.

Regads,

sandro
