Description Jeffrey Rolland 2009-03-20 01:06:41 UTC
Please describe the problem:

When I go to send an email, Evolution only includes one sig dash (-) instead of the traditional two (--). If I switch to a new signature, it displays the two dashes; if I then switch back to my original signature, it then includes the two dashes. Evolution just started doing this, I have no idea what the problem is.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

The problem is reproducible. I just reply to an email.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Reply to an email.


Actual results:
Only one sig dash is present

Expected results:
Two sig dashes would be present

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
This problem just started happening; I have no idea what I did to precipitate it.

Works fine for me in 2.26.0
Comment 2 André Klapper 2009-03-21 19:46:44 UTC
Please tell us your exact settings, e.g. HTML or Plain text in composer.
Only when replying, or also when writing a new mail?

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and Evolution 2.26.1 and I can reproduce single dash
behavior on signatures. It is reproducible also on each new mail creation with
plain text composer.

Please, find screen-shot of composer preferences attached.

Jeffrey / Nikola:
If you have time, could you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution 3.2.2 or 3.0.3 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version" field and provide information about your distribution? Thanks a lot.
Comment 8 Akhil Laddha 2012-03-23 14:23:29 UTC
Jeffrey / Nikola,  did you get a chance to reproduce the problem with latest
Evolution version ?
