Description Milan Crha 2013-10-04 05:17:14 UTC
Moving this from a downstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015317

Description of problem:

Evolution starts normally.
All tasks run normally (show mail folders, e-mails get retrieved, etc)
Quoted-text truncated at first answered message after startup.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.8.5
Same behaviour since 3.6.? (Fedora 18)


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Evolution
2. Answer an existing message
3. Internal Editor starts


Actual results:
At first answered Message:
Quoted text gets shown shortly (fraction of a second) correct, but then it gets truncated at beginning (dashed line + first lines).

At subsequent answered messages:
Quoted text gets shown correctly. No problem.


Expected results:
No truncation of the quoted text when answering for the first time after Evolution start.


Additional info:
I could find out that it relates to the option:

"Signatur beim Antworten über der Original-Nachricht behalten"
(Keep signature above the original-message)

If this option is "on", problem occurs. No problem when the option is "off".

Problem occurs independently of settings like "HTML/plain text", "different kinds of quotation".

The issue might relate to the handling of signatures.
Editor could paste signature-holder (even if empty) at wrong place, not at beginning of text.
