GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 465053
evolution hangs gnome while moving messages slowly
Last modified: 2011-11-24 06:05:03 UTC
Forwarding from a downstream bug report: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251461 Using evolution with an Exchange mailbox illustrates this well, because it's a bit slower. I move 1 message from an Exchange mailbox to a local mailbox, then start moving a second message from an Exchange mailbox to a local mailbox. I do this by dragging and dropping. If the first move completes before I have released the left mouse button for the second move, the cursor stays as the "Move" cursor, permanently. I can't use my mouse for anything else any more - for anything - clicking no longer works. The workaround is to Ctrl+Alt+F1, then login, then kill evolution, and Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Sounds like this might be an ETable or ETree issue.
Bumping version to a stable release.
I cann't reproduce on evolution 2.30.0.
Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution 3.0.3 or 3.2.0 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field? Thanks a lot.
Please feel free to reopen the bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of Evolution.
