Description Frederik Elwert 2012-04-04 20:34:02 UTC 
The original bug report pasted from launchpad:

I am using Evolution 3.2.3 on an up-to-date Precise system.

I noticed that when clicking in an HTML e-mail, some seemingly random piece of text will be selected/highlighted. The selection ends where I clicked, but I cannot find a pattern as to where it starts. Also, this prevents properly selecting text, as clicking and dragging also will result in fairly random text selection. Links are not opened when clicking on them.

These effects do not appear with plain text e-mails, only HTML e-mails are affected.

I recorded a short screencast to show the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/961337/+attachment/2911094/+files/Evolution-HTML-Mails.webm

Just discovered that other bug, so I’m marking this as a duplicate. Sorry for the noise.
