Dear friends,

This is from downstream Ubuntu at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387033

"
Binary package hint: evolution

Dear friends,

To reproduce:
1. In the new message composer write a Hebrew (perhaps other RTL will work)
letter, a number and a dot. An example string is:
ש1.
2. Press <Home>.

Evolution freezes with 100% CPU usage.

Many blessings.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2017-02-09 13:39:55 UTC

GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
