"Formatting message..." forever
Last modified: 2008-06-09 13:07:35 UTC
When reading mails, evolution often enters into the state, when it is displaying "Formatting message..." in the status bar, but nothing actually happens. Only message preview window is affected by this defect and everything else seems to work (it is possible to click to mail headers, use context menu, mail is after defined time after clicking to it marked as read), but the message preview does not refresh and it is not possible to read mails any more. Pressing to close button, evolution greys out, purges mails and the stays opened displaying "Formatting message..." in the status bar forever. After killing evolution, next time evolution has no problem with the same mail. In difference to other reports, there is no CPU activity while "Formatting message..." and the problem is not reproducible on the same mail. Most (if not all) of problematic messages are not in plain text. System environment: evolution-2.22.1.1 openSUSE 11.0 beta3 x86_64 How often it happens: About 10 times daily Is it reproducible: No
Backtrace several minutes after clicking to close button: (gdb) bt
+ Trace 199416
