Last modified: 2012-03-30 17:55:56 UTC
Please describe the problem: When compose a new message, type something in "To" and "Subject" field, then Press <Ctrl + Z> or Click Edit-> Undo. Undo function for these two fields do not work. While it is works in body field. So when user first input some words in body field and type Email address in the "To" field , at this time, use undo function will change something in body field. This is not the user's intent. Steps to reproduce: 1. Compose a new message; 2. Type something in Body filed; 3. Type something in To or Subject field; 4. <Ctrl + Z> or Edit-> Undo; Actual results: Undo function happened in Body filed, while user want to undo in To or Subject field. Unexpected changes happened in body fields. Expected results: User can undo in To or Subject field. Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I can confirm this bug. It is still there in Evolution 2.8.2.
I am still seeing this in Fedora 7 with evolution-2.10.3-2.fc7.
valid in 2.25.90
Undo is a GtkHtml mechanism and is not designed to work with the header fields, which Evolution adds. Marking this as an enhancement.
This can cause problems for a11y users who are unable to use a mouse.

(In reply to comment #6) > related to bug 207624 Meh, kind of. That bug is proposing a completely different undo framework, whereas this is about extending GtkHtml's existing undo framework to include the header widgets that Evolution adds by subclassing the GtkhtmlEditor widget. I have no intention of working on this until we've ditched GtkHtml for WebKit.
