Description Peter O'Shea 2004-03-10 15:04:50 UTC

Using evolution-1.5.5, compiled with gcc-3.3.3 on a sparc solaris 8 machine.

If:
1. in Tools....Settings....Autocompletion....On This Computer  I enable the
"Personal" addressbook.
2.  The addressbook has contacts in it.
3.  I press "New" to get a new email composer window.
4.  In the "To" field, I type four letters of a name which I know is in the
address book,
5.  The beginnings of a drop-down box start to appear from the "To" field,

then

6.  Bang!  Evolution crashes.

If I run evolution under gdb, to get a backtrace, and follow the same
steps, in the gdb terminal output it says 
"Bus error
in g_type_check_instance()"
and then the machine completely hangs.  No possibility of a backtrace.  I
have to log in remotely from another machine and shut everything down.

Comment 2 Peter O'Shea 2004-03-11 21:09:05 UTC

Since the dupe was on Linux, setting OS to "All".

Comment 3 Peter O'Shea 2004-03-17 20:00:39 UTC

Just compiled and installed glib-2.4.0, pango-2.4.0, gtk+-2.4.0, and
on a hunch I retested this.  It now works, the dropdown displays the
matches from the addressbook, I can select one, and there's no crash.

Closing.

Comment 4 vgrebenschikov 2004-03-25 16:19:13 UTC

Fresh builded evolution evolution-1.5.5_2 with
gtk-2.4.0
pango-1.4.0
glib-2.4.0
(FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT)
still crashes on email address lookup
usually crash happens when @ characted entered
