Unable to change contact photo (Fairphone 4)

[esd]

Like the user who posted Can't change contact photos (now closed, otherwise I would have juste added to it) I can’t change contacts photos on my Fairphone 4.
The problem is exactly the same : no save button in the cropping widget.

As

Can't change contact photos

I cannot reproduce this when editing contacts saved in Contacts app and where contacts are saved to my murena account. The SAVE button is, and remains during crop, at top of the “Edit contact” screen. [1000001538]

I cannot reproduce on a FP4 (3.02 official). What eOS version you are running? Changed your laucher?

[esd]

I got the phone preinstalled from the murena store. I didn’t change the launcherAFAIK, but accepted an /e/OS upgrade by the systems update mechanism. I am currently running 3.0.4.

I searched for a long time, but I found out how to save a photo. (As FP4 user as well)
Once you’ve selected the photo, tap just below the WiFi (or mobile network) icon, and the ‘Save’ field will appear.
The reason is that the ‘Save’ field is active but nearly invisible on the screen, so you have to tap blindly just below the WiFi icon… (If you look and concentrate really closely above your photo, you can lightly see “save” in the top right-hand corner (below the WiFi icon)).

Would be interesting what setting is the reason. Language, LiveDisplay, Accessibility setting, extra darkmode…?

When I study your image @esd I do see the word ENREGISTRER in the expected space, black on black.

On my Moto if I change language to French I see ENREGISTRER white on black.

Does the fault still exist out of dark theme ?

Sorry @stanwood you made the point already, but I first read

@stanwood

If you look and concentrate really closely above your photo, you can lightly see “save”

as a more generalised hint.

Thanks for your replies. Indeed the control is active. For the record, other controls elsewhere have normal contrast, including when cropping photos in the “Camera” application.
The phone is not in dark mode (I got it this way and left it as it suits me). I tested dark mode and did see the the button appear white on black.
I’d still count this a Contacts application display bug. Is there a way to declare one ?

@esd

Is there a way to declare one

Sure, it is certainly an undesirable bug; just Report an issue.

filed it with your screenshot at

Contact Photo edits: SAVE button invisible in bright system theme (#8876) ·...

those need one-liner changes in xml to be fixed.

I have a similar unmerged fix for 1+ year that is unmerged though. A canary for dev org

[esd]

Thanks ! I’d have filed it myself, but my mail is “unauthorized”.
Hopefully it’s gonna get fixed
