Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 15.04 r99, BQ Aquaris E4.5

1. Add a Google account to Contacts, if there isn't one already.
2. Create a new card with someone's name and a phone number.
3. Sometime later, navigate to the card.

What you see: "Addressbook" and your Gmail address.

What's wrong with this:
* "Addressbook" is not a word, except for software developers.
* You could easily misinterpret this as meaning that you accidentally entered your own e-mail address as the contact's e-mail address.

As far as I can tell, "Addressbook:" here means "The place where you
want the contact to be stored". You can't choose to store a contact in
more than place, but I guess that's a separate problem.

What you should see:
* The place where the contact is stored is labelled more plainly, for example, "Stored in:" rather than "Addressbook:".
* The location is displayed very differently from normal e-mail addresses. For example:
    - as "Google (user.name)" rather than an e-mail address, and/or
    - with more vertical empty space between this and the actual contact data, and/or
    - in a smaller font (compare bug 1364638).
