Other information:
I observed that evolution hangs sometime while dragging mail to appointments file attachment area. If drag and drop of file is done and then save that appointment, evolution doesnt crash. I verified in evolution 2.6.2 as well as 2.6.3. Nicholas: Could you paste stack traces with debug information. For more information http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
I am sorry for any confusion on my part, this is my first bug report. I think I already put a stack trace above, by following the instructions at http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces. Let me know if you need more info or if I should do it a different way. I am running Evolution 2.6.1 (Ubuntu Dapper: 2.6.1-0ubuntu7 ) Nicholas
we want you to install the ubunto debugging packages. their names all end in "-dbg". install the glib and evolution -dbg packages and reproduce the crash, then copy the trace and paste it here. thanks.
i have no idea why poornima set the status of this bug to needinfo and would love to see an explanation for this behaviour. poornima? nicholas, thanks for the bug report, the stacktrace is wonderful, therefore reopening. this particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 341954 ***
