GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 579273
Evolution 2.26.1.1 hangs (on search folders)
Last modified: 2009-05-07 14:03:42 UTC
Please describe the problem: I upgraded from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1.1 and was happy to see the Unmatched search folder returned, however... It seems that whenever I am viewing a search folder, if/when I read/delete messages from within the search folder and go to another folder (search folder or not), the status bar will say "Saving <name of search folder> and then the UI will just hang. It stops responding completely. I can't even close the app with the close button and end up having to go to the shell and type "evolution --force-shutdown" Also the search folder count *was* more accurate in 2.26.0 but are way off in 2.26.1.1. I have a search folder that checks the from address. With 2.6.1.1 some show up in the search folder and some do not. It appears to be random. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Evolution 2. Click on a Search folder 3. Read/delete messages in that search folder 4. Hang Actual results: Expected results: I expect to be able to continue to read my email. Does this happen every time? Like 99% of the time. It seems if I go directly to the Inbox and read mail I can avoid the issue. Other information: Search folders haven't worked right since 2.22.x. It seems with each subsequent release the situation gets worse and worse. It's really frustrating for the user because search folder is *the* way a lot of users grok through email, especially if they receive a lot of messages. I really long for the days that search folders actually worked reliably/predictably.
Can you please start evolution with gdb in terminal , when it hangs do ctrl+c and then 't a a bt', paste the traces here , thanks. Please install debug info packages of evolution, evolution-data-server in case you don't have. see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details#gdb-not-yet-running for details about how to do this
possible dupe of bug 579360 (a wild guess :P)
I have the same problem here (very annoying). Here a traces of all threads, as asked above : (gdb) t a a bt
+ Trace 215176
Can you please try when 2.26.2 will come out as patch attached in bug 579360 was missed for 2.26.1.1 and I believe it's a dupe of bug 579360.
Applying the patch of bug 579360 to a 2.26.1.1 tree solves the issue for me. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 579360 ***
