Description Alain Mellan 2003-06-10 17:48:17 UTC
Description of Problem:

Even though GtkHtml says it uses the XEmacs keybindings, most of them
don't work in the mail composer. They work fine in BugBuddy though, so I
take it's really an Evolution problem.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. New mail
2. go to text area
3. Ctrl-F

Actual Results:
pops up Find dialog

Expected Results:
go forward one character

How often does this happen?
Always

Additional Information:
Some keybindings work, like Ctrl-N, Ctrl-P
It's like the framework gets the key events first, and then passes them
to the widget. If the key happens to be bound already (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-F,
etc), it does not fall through to the GtkHtml widget.

this is a gtk bug afaik. however, redirecting to gtkhtml developers
since technically you are complaining about the emacs keybindings not
working there. mailer has 0 emacs keybindings.
