Contacts disappear as I am adding them on my iMac

Help, contacts disappear as I am adding them on my iMac.

If I enter more than one field at a time the whole new contact disappears.


I have to click "done" after every field entry and then "edit" again to add the next.


For example I have to enter first name, click done, enter last name , click done, enter mobile (number), click done and so on for each field.


If I click + New contact the whole page defaults to one of the no names after 10 seconds.


It all works fine on my iPhone though.
