Description Jim Nelson 2014-10-24 18:13:21 UTC 
As reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1382061

* Go to Drafts folder
* Edit existing draft
* Allow for Geary to save changes
* Select another draft in Drafts folder
* Geary prompts "Close open draft message?"  Select Close.

Geary will crash.

I'm not seeing a crash, but it does demonstrate how broken the inline composer is in the draft folder.  I'm getting random conversations selected, jumping sizes, incorrect overlays, etc.  Perhaps we should open the drafts in separate windows until we get that all straightened out.

Robert, I'm guessing you only have one account registered with Geary.  It turns out that the problem is due to the From: dropdown changing and causing save-draft timers to be scheduled.  I suspect this is due to the widget being cleared when the embedded composer is destroyed, but still looking into it.
