Comment 1 André Klapper 2014-08-30 15:27:02 UTC

This ticket has not seen any updates or duplicates since 2010.
Is this still a problem in a recently released version?
If not, this ticket might get closed as obsolete.
(Furthermore, GtkHtml is slowly getting superseded by WebKit in Evolution.)

Comment 2 André Klapper 2017-07-30 16:01:27 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.
