Tons of debug dialog boxes pop up
Last modified: 2005-04-29 20:39:35 UTC
Distribution: Debian 3.1 Package: Evolution Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.8.3 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Debian Synopsis: Tons of debug dialog boxes pop up Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: UI Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Description of Problem: Whenever I try to read my IMAP mail, I get periodic messages from evolution (which I presume to be debug messages), sometimes blank with just an "ok", sometimes with the path of my mailbox, sometimes a message name, etc. I don't have debugging enabled though, and can't seem to turn these off! (Sorry if this is a dup! I wasn't able to find it in the list, but one never knows) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start evolution 2. Browse IMAP mail folders Actual Results: Miscellaneous debug dialog boxes Expected Results: No debug dialog boxes How often does this happen? Almost all the time ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-04-26 03:13 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "Evolution". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' The original reporter of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the person who moved it here, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org. Previous reporter was wdaher@mit.edu. Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
this has nothing to do with debugging, these are normal error messages. since you don't want to see any dialog boxes, i assume that this is a duplicate of bug 247373. please reopen if i am wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 247373 ***
No, I'm not really describing the issue in bug 247373. My dialog boxes shouldn't actually appear. Here are some screenshots, so that you can see what I'm talking about: http://web.mit.edu/wdaher/www/evolution/ (there are six in that directory, Screenshot.png, Screenshot-1.png ... Screenshot-4.png) It seems that almost arbitrary IMAP folder data is getting shown in these dialog boxes, or sometimes no data at all! I also got ones saying stuff like "[READ-WRITE] Action complete" and all kinds of messages that I've never gotten when using any previous version of evolution (e.g., 1.4, 2.0, 2.1)
That looks like it might be a faulty IMAP server. I've never seen anything like that in Evolution. Those dialogs look like they are just IMAP server responses though. Anyway, this is a mailer issue and not UI. I'm moving it to Mailer. If it gets re-opened, please re-assign to the default owner of that component as well.
