This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
not a regression => rescheduling for 2.1
still valid in evo-2.2.3/gtkhtml-3.6, retargetting to 2.3.
2.5
futuring, sorry
Bumping version to a stable release.
Downstream bug report about a) from evolution 3.4.3/gtkhtml3-4.4.3: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849282
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
