GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 361484
crash in Evolution: I removed a filter from ...
Last modified: 2006-10-11 22:32:06 UTC
What were you doing when the application crashed? I removed a filter from the filters list. Then I clicked on the Trash folder (I believe evolution froze at this point) and since the folder seemed to be empty I clicked on Junk folder. That also seemed to be empty (possibly because the application was already frozen and not displaying the contents of the folders anymore). And then this bug report dialogue showed up.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Can you reproduce this?
I could reproduce the crash when I clicked on trash and then junk. Then, I installed the debug symbols and meanwhile I noticed that there is an update warning. So, I updated ubuntu and evolution was updated as well from (2.8.1-0ubuntu1) to 2.8.1-0ubuntu2. Now, I can't reproduce the crash anymore. It seems like whatever was fixed in the last update also fixed this bug.
Thanks, Burkay. :) The patch attached to bug 359236 is the only fix that went in into that Ubuntu point release. Please feel free to report any further bugs you find. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 359236 ***
