Description Reinout van Schouwen 2012-05-13 22:49:20 UTC

Originally reported as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5722 .

I noticed that the process gnome-shell-calendar-server puts up a password
prompt which eats 100% CPU as long as it hasn't been closed. This is especially annoying when another user who is logged in has this password prompt but you can't switch users to cancel the dialog.

I made a backtrace:

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2012-06-18 12:00:52 UTC

Password prompts are centralized and system-modal in evolution-data-server 3.5.3, so closing this as OBSOLETE.

Comment 2 Reinout van Schouwen 2012-06-23 23:26:00 UTC

OBSOLETE? Production systems will be running 3.4 for years to come!!
