I start a new mail in Evolution; I paste the attached HTML in from firefox (nb. it needs to be HTML type) - of course switch the mail type to 'HTML'. Then right click - and 'Delete Row' for the footer, Right click 'Delete Column' a few times for some boring looking columns. Send mail -> bang: 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
+ Trace 220126
100% repeatable; I have: gtkhtml2-3.28.2-0.1.13 evolution-2.28.2-0.1.5 on SLED11-SP1.
Created attachment 151677 [details] html ...
Wrong gtkhtml... moving to the right one.
Looks like there are many old duplicates bug 234594 , bug 227608 and bug 268225
Not a blocker.

I'm reopening and reverting this fix, in gtkhtml master, because with it every html object leaks, thus this is not the right fix. I'm sorry.
grief - if we are not highly suspicious about a 'fix' for a Free Memory Read that just removes the 'free' ;-) then we have problems; Bharath ?
Well the entire problem was mine :) Sorry about this so called 'fix' :) The undo operation freed it twice, instead of removing the bad one, I seem to have removed the main one which affected others too.
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.
