Description David.Walker 2003-07-22 17:30:08 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: critical
Version: GNOME2.2.2 1.4.3

Synopsis: Evolution crash while deleting a contact's email field
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Calendar
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.2.0.1)
Description:
Description of Problem:
Evolution often crashes when deleting the Email and Email2 fields from a
contact.  The values of both these fields was "Outlook Reserved" (due to
Palm synchronization issues with MS Outlook *long* before I ever started
using Evolution).

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Find all contacts where "email" begins with "Outlook"
2. Double-click on one to edit it.
3. Delete the text in the Email and Email2 fields.
4. Click on "Save and Close".

Actual Results:
Evolution crashes.  When I restart Evolution, the contact has been
modified.

Expected Results:
An updated contact without a crash.

How often does this happen?
I had 20 of these "Outlook Reserved" contacts that I started cleaning up
this morning.  The first few went OK, but now it seems to crash each
time I modify a contact.  I have tried logging out and killing
Evolution-Wombat, but it doesn't seem to change the behavior.

Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Comment 1 David.Walker 2003-07-22 17:52:04 UTC 
I've now noticed that replacing "Outlook Reserved" with a valid
address makes a crash less likely, but it did still crash once on my
last 6-8 of 20 contacts that I was cleaning up.  In any event, I'm now
not so sure that this has anything to do with "Outlook Reserved," as
opposed to removing all email addresses from a contact.
