When I create a new contact, if I try to tab beyond the first and last name of the contact, the Contacts app deselects and stops showing that card. This has resulted in several orphaned/incomplete contacts listed as No Name. I shouldn't have to click Save the contact after just entering the name and then click Edit to add the rest of the details. Super annoying. HELP!
Got a tip for us?

Mac OS Contacts Bug: Deselection While Tabbing Thru New Contact

It does that to me in Ventura when I'm in a Google account. When I create a contact under in On My Mac>All on My Mac it doesn't behave that way. I also tested with my Office 365 account (Exchange), which I don't use for contacts, and it doesn't behave that way, either.
Can you please clarify what you meant? I do not understand "When I create a contact under in On My Mac>All on My Mac". That is not a phrase/sentence that makes sense to me but I'm intrigued you were able to reproduce the problem.
If the "On My Mac" group isn't showing (and it doesn't really need to be unless you want it) you can make it appear by turning off contacts syncing for every account that is currently "ON".
As I said, for me the "No Name" tabbing issue only affects my Google-synced contacts. What service are you syncing?

I know this is a bit dated, but I get the same in Sonoma with the current Contacts app. It is infuriating. I enter a ne contact with name say and company and the system (without me pressing a key at this point) exits the create and displays an existing contact (JP Straps - go figure). Been like this for some time.
