Description Matthew Barnes 2006-08-11 19:38:58 UTC 
Forwarding this bug from downstream.
Confirmed that it still exists in Evolution 2.7.91.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201289

[Ed: I'm not sure this one is worth bothering with.  But I'd rather have upstream make that call.]


Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.7.4-4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Evolution and create a New Mail Message
2. In "Compose a message" window select menu Edit
3. Check items under Edit menu

  
Actual results:
Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Past, Past Quotation are activated

Expected results:
Since user didn't input anything in the composer, these menus should be activated

Additional info:
Compared with Thunderbird, these menus are not activated

Composer, wich is GtkHTML.

Confirming for Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy.

The case for Paste and Paste Quotation is different. These need to be sensible based on the clipboard. If there is pastable data in the clipboard, these need to be sensible.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 01:04:06 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:38:08 UTC 
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
