On bitcoin-qt, current master:
Switch to address book. Select address and click on verify message. Click on "Chose address from the addressbook" icon. Select address and click on Verify message.
nothing happens
First of all I'd strongly recommend UIs should not allow for this recursive behaviour in the first place. But hell, if you show the button, I'd expect the Verify dialog to open a second time.
That makes sense in a theoretic fashion, however I don't see any use case for opening it twice. Do you?
As I said, I think the UI is misdesigned. All I'm saying is: There is a button, but nothing happens when clicking on it. If you cannot handle the button, remove it.
Ok, agreed then
Perhaps we can tell the addressdialog, that it got opened from sign/verify message dialog and just hide sign/verify stuff then. Or should we only allow the OK button, when addressdialog is opened as seperate dialog?
Edit: Nice catch, thanks for reporting.
From a UX perspective, I would remove the "Chose address from the addressbook" button from all dialogs in case that dialog was opened with an address already selected.
I'll take a look :).
It's no longer possible to invoke it recursively, closing
