Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
This looks like the composer to me.
I think this is a duplicate of a bug I just fixed earlier today. if you see it in the next snap, just reopen.
Created attachment 51110 [details] When removing signature evolution crashed
Unable to paste the crash in comments due to size limitation. Reopening the bug based on comment #3.
Retargetting to 2.5
I really am not able to reproduce this. Have you tried with the 2.4.x??
Yes. I just ran into this on 2.4.x on SUSE 10.0 yesterday. Except my crash was when I saved the signature.
Created attachment 52812 [details] back trace
thanks joe, can you attach the signature that is causing the crash, so that i can test it. Thanks
Sure. How and where is is stored so that I can attach it? It it in the .evolution diretory? If so, what is the name of the file. Oh, and I never had this problem with the 2.3 version of evolution. So this has been introduced since 2.4
the signatures are stored in .evolution/signatures/ I have tried saving a removing signature with images without images and varied patterns. But none crashed. So thought i would try it wiht something that crashes. Thanks
Created attachment 52813 [details] signature Here it is, but there is nothing special about it. It is just text. Also, I have been able to add, remove, and edit this signature just fine since the crash. The only thing that I can think of is if the crash was due to it already being seleted under the signature section when I edited it and tryied saving it.
Sigh! not happening. Am really not sure why it crashed. re-opening for now
quite unfortunately i am really not able to reproduce this issue, and i tried all kinds of signatures, including html/non-html and with scripts and stuff.

so guys, anyone still a ble to reproduce this with evolution 2.6 (stable) or (unstable) 2.7? have only seen 2.4 and 2.2 reports so far.
no 2.6 or 2.8 reports on this crasher so far, no duplicates at all within the last three months. assuming that this bug has been fixed in the meantime. anybody still facing this bug *please* reopen this bug report. thanks a lot in advance, and thanks again everybody for taking the time to report this issue!
