GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 340314
Freezes when viewing a mail on IMAP
Last modified: 2006-07-29 23:53:45 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. View (as in inline view or how it's called) a bunch of mails by using the cursor keys to switch fairly fast... try different delays between message switching and try it for some time as it doesn't happen instantly most of the time 2. See the UI freezing at "Formatting Message (100%)" or "Verifying Signature (100%)" Stack trace: ============================================================= freeze at formatting message: ============================================================= (gdb) thread apply all bt
+ Trace 67952
Other information: This is on latest Ubuntu Dapper with evolution 2.6.1 and evolution-data-server 1.6.1. The mails are on a IMAP4 server, the connection is over SSL
Ubuntu Bug for this: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/42422 Btw, this happened already with evolution 2.4 and e-d-s 1.4
might be similar to bug #331172 and bug #334872
Bug 336767 comment 8 mentions a work around that works for me (see also bug 342910 and bug 336821).
This seems to be completely unrelated to those bugs. I had this problem already with glib 2.8, using G_SLICE=always-malloc doesn't change anything and there's a) no segfault and b) no g_slice_alloc() in my backtraces ;)
hey sebastian, could you try disabling the "New Mail Notification" plugin in Edit->Plugins. I believe that its a dbus issue which is freezing evolution. Changing to NEEDINFO - please reopen after trying it out.
That didn't change anything, I tried that already in the past. But it seems that 2.7.4 has this bug fixed, at least I don't got any freezes since a few days.
Ah! I will just leave it open. Please use 2.7.4 and check if you have this issue back. We can close it if not. Thanks for the quick response.
Ok, I never had a freeze again with 2.7.4 so this really seems to be fixed finally :)
