Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/75119
Still hapens with 2.9.4.
This also affects tasks (and not only memo's).
2.9.5 crashes as well.
I'd like to point out that my task list crashes (when clicking on any item) even in default view 'Tasks'. I have no chance to edit tasks, so that it is critical bug for me.
Why is this bug still UNCONFIRMED? It does even have a duplicate.
Still the same crash with 2.9.6.
I've found a way how to fix the problem with my tasks. After trying evolution in a clear home (no '.evolution' directory), where the tasks did work (create new, delete, edit tasks), I tried to combine .evolution/tasks in my home dir with the newly created .evolution. I realized that the problem was with my *.ics files in .evolution/tasks/local/*. There was a problem with DTEND attributes in VTODO. According to the specification it shouldn't be there at all and I had many of them (e.g. DTEND:-0011201T000000). Even the value looks weird. Removing lines with DTEND helped to resolve my problem. Note that my *.ics files were pretty old and I don't know when DTEND attributes got in. Hopefully, this information will help you to find a fix. It is still possible that the problem will re-appear for me, if evolution still adds DTEND attributes to the tasks. It is possible that the problem with memos is the same, memos use the same file format (iCalendar) as tasks.
Created attachment 81093 [details] Problematic iCalendar file tasks Import this iCalendar file into your evolution's calendar to see the crash (you may need to close evolution and then start it again).
Possibly a duplicate of bug 373092. Couls anyone test svn trunk to see if the fix there really fixes this problem too?
(In reply to comment #12) > Possibly a duplicate of bug 373092. Could anyone test svn trunk to see if the > fix there really fixes this problem too? I can try to build evolution 2.9.6 with patch from bug 373092. Is it enough?
I recompiled gtkhtml 3.13.16 with patch from bug 373092, run evolution with tasks.ics (containing DTEND attributes) and it crashed after selecting any of tasks. So I think this is not a duplicate.
Fixed for me. Can somebody confirm?
Still broken as hell using feisty's latest. This is really a showstopper...
Seems fixed now. Can be closed unless someone still experiences it.
Closing after a month of no response, assuming it is fixed for the rest too.
Thanks Ruben. :-)
