Anybody else have this problem?
I go to create a new contact and I don't get past 2 fields and contacts closes the creation. Very consistently. Nothing is saved.
The work around is to create a shell contact on an iOS device, let it sync to OSX then I complete the contact on OSX.
Reboot not effective.
Cheers,

Battery failure - Your battery is reporting that it needs to be serviced.
Unsigned files - There are unsigned software files installed that could be adware and should be reviewed.
And
More than one antivirus app - This computer has multiple antivirus apps installed.
These two things are of great concern.
And there is the clincher... you have installed that **** cleanmymac...
The first thing is to completely uninstall this. Never let any program that claims to "clean", "optimize" or "speed up" your mac.
They are scams. And cmm is one of the worst.
Depending on what you did with it and how long you've had this, it is quite possible that it has already caused damage to your mac that only a clean install can undo.

Not seeing this.
Try restarting in Safe Mode, and then try to create a contact. If it works in Safe Mode, then there is probably some third party software causing a problem.
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
I would like to thank this daïs for the ideas. Here is, after empirically trying a few things, what solved the problem. On the OSX side, I disconnected the accounts from the cloud. iCloud email, contacts, etc. reconnected. Now contact app behaves correctly. Luis, I'll go through the report and remove the necessary. The battery will be replaced in a months time. I wish you all a good and sunny weekend.
Excellent Workaround and Out-of-the-box idea.
Sorry to say no issued this side.
Would follow advise of @Luis Sequeira 1
Is it a Gmail account? There seems to be a lot of similar issues with Gmail's implementation of CardDAV.
I've never had any similar problems with an iCloud contacts account or local contacts.
The email side is gmail. The contact side is pure apple.
Hi Luis,
Safe mode did not change any behaviour. You have the etrecheck. Many thanks.
