Description Adam Williamson 2017-10-20 21:54:27 UTC 
This is definitely a 'weird bug of the year' candidate...

I just noticed this, when using the search bar that is present above the list of messages in the current folder - the one where you can search for messages with various properties (by default, 'Subject or Addresses contain').

For some reason, in my current Fedora 27 install with evolution-3.26.1-1.fc27.x86_64 , typing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 into that text box is unreliable. If I hit any of those keys, say, 10 times, I'll get maybe 3-5 of the character; the other half of the keypresses seem to be ignored.

Typing any other character I've tried - any digit higher than 5, any letter - works fine. Every keypress of one of those characters shows up in the text box.

I've no idea what could be causing this, but it does seem to be reliably reproducible. Haven't tried with a fresh install yet.

Thanks for a bug report. It's fixed for 3.26.2, to be released the next week.
