Description Ray Holme 2012-12-19 13:19:07 UTC 
If I choose HTML as my output format; then highlight a word or phrase; then choose a color (red); evolution hangs -

 I can no longer enter input or even cancel the mail

 The only solution is to "kill -9 PID" and then choose to recover the mail (the recovered mail will have the text correctly set to red!) and continue.

This "feature" is totally reproducible. I have done it three times now.

I am running a fully patched version of fedora 16 - 64 bit.

And sorry - I don't see a separate entry for the Gtkl-html project or I would file there now.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade.

Nice. If only I could figure how how and what to upgrade to. Net notes on upgrading evolution say to update to 3.2.3 (or earlier). I am there and patched.

So I guess I must wait the next Linux release or Evolution issues a yum update.

Thanks - glad it is fixed..
