Description Johannes Berg 2008-12-07 15:01:43 UTC 
occasionally, after a long time of using evolution, it will hang when formatting a message ("Formatting message ..." status), never show a message and I then need to evolution --force-shutdown to get it working again.

It seems e-d-s is to blame, when this happens it's deadlocked:

killing just e-d-s solves the problem.
Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2008-12-30 13:42:16 UTC 
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot
to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash.
Could you please install some debugging packages [1], start the application as
normal, and reproduce the crash, if possible?

Once bug-buddy pops up, you can find the stacktrace in the Details, now
containing way more information. Please copy that stacktrace and paste it as a
comment here. Thanks in advance!

[1] debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server, evolution-exchange, gtkhtml, gtk, glib, libsoup, gnome-vfs, libgnome, orbit2 and libgnomeui (as far as those packages are provided by your distribution). More details can be found here:
http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces
Comment 3 Johannes Berg 2009-01-02 15:24:41 UTC 
I did install them now, but I have a new laptop where suspend is broken, so I can't seem to reproduce the problem right now.

Bit odd that #2 has a symbol but #3 doesn't, same with 6/7 and 4/5, any ideas?
Comment 4 Johannes Berg 2009-01-05 18:44:16 UTC 
Just came across it again, this time with hopefully more info
