Description Milan Crha 2009-06-03 15:51:55 UTC
Just realized that I cannot create a new mail account in evolution master.
I guess merge of commit 6d70e07 didn't go well.

On the first look, the "current = g_strdup ("imap");" is leaking, as the previous allocation came on the stack. Also, I see couple warnings on evo console during continuation of "preselected" IMAP account creation, like:
> Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != NULL' failed
though I cannot finish the first page, as the "forward" button isn't available.

When closing the druid and opening other account edit dialog, and changing in there the account type I see couple of:
> Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed

Thus something is really wrong now.

Srag?

Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-06-03 16:26:24 UTC
Taken. Lemme look at it right away.
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-06-03 19:22:33 UTC
fixed in master.
Comment 4 Milan Crha 2009-06-05 12:55:06 UTC
No, not fixed, I'm sorry.

Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts->Add
Email: a@b
Forward
(preselected IMAP)
Server: type anything, Forward still disabled

In server, choosing all the text, hit Del, the text is deselected, but still there, not deleted.

New patch pushed. it was a freed-memory  referenced issue. Fixed. Thanks to valgrind and Milan.
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2009-06-10 12:19:15 UTC
OK, I tried my simple steps and seems to be fixed.

I also noticed one little thing, before you enter anything to the server address the "Forward" button is disabled, when you type something in there, the "Forward" button is enabled, but deleting the server entry content doesn't disable the "Forward" button, thus you are able to create an account with empty server names for both receiving and sending.

I do not believe you introduced it, thus I'm closing this as fixed. Just if you can, and you'll recall, please look at this. Thanks in advance.

Seems to be a different one, as he is able to configure an account, but not finish a wizard fully.
