I'm back in Mageia now, so got a chance to test 4.8.2. I was almost
right about the process, it's right click on the group name, Edit the
group, then a window should open for editing.
Are you sure?
I just checked this on my laptop.
If I right-click on the group name in an addressbook
I'm offered three choices:
New Contact, New Group and Edit Group.
If I click on New Contact, a window opens as you say,
but if I add a contact it appears in the address book, but not in the group.
If I click on Edit Group I can add a contact to the group,
but (bizarrely) it disappears after a few seconds.
The good news, though, is that the group did still have contacts
listed that I entered some months back. At one time it used to lose
them regularly, so it looks as though at at least is improved.
Not in my case;
there seems to be no way of adding a contact permanently to a group.
