Description Bryan O'Sullivan 2006-01-27 17:14:39 UTC

Distribution: Fedora Core release 4.91 (Pre-FC5)
Package: Evolution
Severity: critical
Version: GNOME2.13.4 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc
Synopsis: Composer crashes Evolution when composing almost any mail
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.13.0)
Description:
Description of the crash:

I'm using evolution-2.5.4-2 on an fc5t2 machine.

I am unable to compose even a simple plain text email message of several
lines in length without evo falling over and crashing.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Start Evo.
2. Start composing a message.
3. Crash!

Expected Results:

Composing a mail message should probably not crash the app.

How often does this happen?

Every message I've tried sending so far. I can actually send the
messages if I restart and recover, and I don't lose more than a
paragraph or two of text each time, but it turns sending a five-line
message into an epic of loss and redemption.

Bryan, any chance you could update to the latest development release 2.5.5.1?

Comment 3 Bryan O'Sullivan 2006-01-27 17:50:24 UTC

I'm somewhat tied to whatever is in Fedora rawhide, at the very least, and it's still on 2.5.4.
