GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 515840
C-a C-x in reply window doesn't clear original message

Moving this from downstream bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=236830 evolution-2.10.1-4.fc7 Highlight a message. Click reply. In the reply window, type C-a C-x, which should clear the old message from the window. Instead, it leaves you with a blank line followed by an angle bracket (or, if you're using HTML format, a quoting pipe). If you add a linefeed to the last line of the quoted message, which doesn't have one when the reply window pops up, and then hit C-a C-x, the window is cleared as expected. I don't know whether it's the C-a or C-x that's doing the wrong thing. --- Comment --- From Milan Crha (mcrha@redhat.com) on 2007-11-21 05:16 EST It seems to me like fixed, in Fedora 8, can you check, please? (I meant, I cannot reproduce this in Fedora 8, it works as expected for me.) --- Comment --- From Jonathan Kamens on 2007-11-22 13:36 EST Weird. It's "sort of" fixed. If you start a reply with the quoting method set to quote rather than Outlook-style, then hit C-a C-x, the entire quoted message gets removed. Now here's where it gets weird. If you how hit ctrl-z, and then hit ctrl-a ctrl-x again, once again you end up with an angle bracket or quoting bar left over. Not entirely fixed.
Bumping version to a stable release.
Tried with both HTML and plain format in 3.2.3 and cannot reproduce. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
