Comment 33 Milan Crha 2012-04-20 08:24:03 UTC

Steps from other downstream bug report:
  While composing a new e-mail HTML message, highlighted some text, clicked on
  insert table and program crashed.

Comment 34 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:35:28 UTC

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.
