Description dan.mcdonald 2008-10-13 14:02:06 UTC

Evolution hangs when creating new window due to GtkSpinButton errors.  See https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44768 for more details.  Reproduced with both imap and exchange back-ends.

New window displays when following message is displayed:
(evolution:9600): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
removing cache for  Outbox 1 0x98968f0
done .. now 0

Comment 3 Akhil Laddha 2008-10-14 13:33:44 UTC

This is due to beagle, i really don't know why it happens. Please kill beagle, evo will run smoothly.

Comment 4 dan.mcdonald 2008-10-24 14:05:32 UTC

Evolution runs fine when beagle is disabled

Comment 5 André Klapper 2009-03-25 11:23:42 UTC

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, the stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.

Could you please help fixing this by installing some debugging packages [1], start the application as normal, and try to reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the 'Details', now containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] Please install debug packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, gtk, glib, gnome-vfs, pango, libgnome and libgnomeui (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution).
