Description Øystein Gisnås 2006-07-31 09:17:12 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The HTML editor doesn't not allow HTML forms to be deleted. It is possible to paste HTML forms and also delete non-HTML elements.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox on some site with a form (for example Google)
2. Select the form with the mouse and copy it to clipboard
3. Open message editor in Evolution and paste the form inside it
4. Try to delete it. Impossible :)

Actual results:
The HTML form does not get deleted, and is still visible.

Expected results:
The HTML form should be deleted

Does this happen every time?
Yes

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.
