1. Start Bitcoin-Qt with -server enabled
2. bitcoind importprivkey 5KKpXi2Jzq5Uhc2hewc9eXQZrUJyFx7wxbm1JL2PrKEmvJmJRi7
3. Check "Receive coins" tab
4. Observe new address (1MaRTyRCFm2tn1JYq6oDoAy6uati7eXJWj) is not listed
5. Exit Bitcoin-Qt completely
6. Start Bitcoin-Qt again after it finishes exiting
7. Observe new address is now in the "Receive coins" tab

I expect this to be fixed with commit 98e61758744ed34e8b7f59b37edb6d09b33d5517.

Someone just reported this again on 0.7.1 on IRC. Reopen?

I'm seeing this issue on 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 on the linux-64 client. Please reopen.

@BoltBlit You did not set rescan=false when importing?
mckaydavis commented at 10:05 AM on June 2, 2013: none

@sipa To clarify: I tried again w/ another key and rescan=true. After import, the address shows up in the 'Addresses' pane, but not the 'Receive' pane. After a restart, the address is no longer in the the 'Addresses' pane, but then does show up in the 'Receive' pane. The behavior is kind of confusing.

If make import from debug console, then it moving from 'Addresses' to 'Receive' after repeating this action. In debug log it presents as NotifyAddressBookChanged with isMine=0 at first time, and as isMine=1 at second.

This issue can be closed. It is fixed with 0.9 because we assign address purposes now.

The problem was we relied on isMine to determine whether to show as "sending" or "receiving". And when importing, it was not mine (yet). But after the next refresh of addresstablemodel is was mine. (See comment above by r000n)

Also see #3831.
