Description Alonso Murillo 2012-09-01 15:20:33 UTC 
This is a serious bug and i am sure not only affect me, it does affect:

Ubuntu 12.04
Kubuntu 12.04
And probably other distros.

I have the must update system and every time I activate any combo box in any window in Evolution the KEYBOARD INPUT STOP RESPONDING for the Window until you close it and reopen it.

Is reported in ubuntu launchpad as a bug when selecting emotions or changing font color here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtkhtml4.0/+bug/1010692

But the reality is that is a general problem in evolution because any time or in any window where ever activate any combo box.   

Is there a way to fix this, it is very annoying on such a great program, I do not want to switch to other email program Evolution has great features.
