This is reproducible with Modest in Maemo 5 and Evolution in GNOME. The offending email is attached.

Workaround: Make the message preview window smaller.

Message contains lotsa CSS (reason for the bug), unlikely to be ever fixed.

test case without css

You're wrong. This is the same test case, without css. The bug is right there.

This is most likely related to the layout algorithm in gtkhtml. Something in htmlcluev.c is probably fishy.

Reopening.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2012-01-09 12:11:13 UTC 
Testcase in Comment 1 is better in Evolution's WebKit branch, content is horizontally scrollable as there is a scrollbar displayed after scrolling to the bottom. Cannot test with attachment in comment 3 as it's not an email but just plain HTML.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2014-12-02 01:05:20 UTC 
Since version 3.6, Evolution uses WebKit instead of GtkHtml for displaying messages. (And for completeness, Evolution 3.14 is planned to use WebKit also for composing and editing messages so GtkHtml will not receive any fixes anymore.)

Hence I am closing this GtkHtml rendering bug report.
We are sorry that your request was not handled in time when it was reported but unfortunately manpower is very limited (and does not allow testing every single reported issue separately again either).

Please feel free to reopen this report (and move it to the "Evolution" product and the "Mail" component) if the problem described in this bug report still happens in a recent supported Evolution version which uses WebKit (the current stable Evolution version is 3.12).
