Description jean-marie.piveteau 2007-02-08 16:07:05 UTC

What were you doing when the application crashed?
I had 2 messages in the draft folder ("Brouillons" in French). The first was selected. Then I just clicked via the menu to display the message contents on the third pane (which I have not used since months). I clicked (in French:) "Affichage / Aperçu / Afficher l'aperçu du message CTRL+M". Then the status bar of Evolution told me that it was retrieving the message (number 88, if I remember). Then Bug Buddy appeared...

Comment 8 Srinivasa Ragavan 2008-01-22 04:38:55 UTC

Found a nice way to reproduce. 

EMFolderView is derived by EMFolderBrowser (the normal view, with message list and preview pane) and EMMessageBrowser (mail view window - when you double click on a mail)

em_folder_browser_show_preview called at em-folder-view.c assumes that it is a folderbrowser (normal view windows and fires a show/hide preivew). If a mail view separate window is on, it crashes. I was able to consistently reproduce, when I have both open and change my gconf key for show_preview.
