GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 223006
Many receipients makes To and CC text box unusable
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:33 UTC
Description of Problem: Having a large number of receipients for an email (ie eighty or so) - for example when replying to a mail sent a large group - makes the 'To' or 'cc' text box for receipients become unusable. Hitting the right arrow to move the caret a single character takes a very long time to actually work. This is a big issue if I want to remove a couple of receipients from a long list. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Send an email to yourself with a big list of receipients, some of whom are in your addressbook. 2. Hit reply to the email, replying to all receipients 3. Try to remove a couple of receipients from the list Actual Results: Takes forever to move a single character - in effect, the operation is impossible. Expected Results: I should be able to remove recipients at will. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information: I'm using Evo over IMAP, but that probably makes no difference.
this is either an addressbook bug or an EEntry bug
still happens in 1.2, reassigning to me.

Closing RESOLVED FIXED. Just checked with 87 recipients (2047 chars) and there is no delay beyong normal text editing. Behaves very fine.
