Description Brian J. Murrell 2013-08-09 00:58:59 UTC

I have an EWS account on an Exchange Server with a fairly large contact list.  When searching for contacts in the "Select Contacts From Address Book" dialog (as a result of pressing the "To:" or "CC:" labels in the composer) the search blocks the UI of all open Evolution windows.

The threaded stack trace looks like (apologies in advance but I'm not sure how the Fedora abrt/etc. system installs debuginfo packages in /var/cache/abrt-di and how I can achieve the same outside of abrt -- and I don't want to duplicate that effort by using yum/rpm to install debuginfo packages):

Oh, and what looks nasty is that after the UI unblocks, pressumably because the search is done, it blocks again, (for minutes at a time BTW) for updates to the search box.  Quite unusable in fact with 100K contacts, even when they are locally cached -- which I understand they are supposed to be.

Comment 1 Brian J. Murrell 2013-08-09 01:10:35 UTC

Ahhh.  Seems like I might have figured out how to utilize /var/cache/abrt-di:

Comment 2 André Klapper 2013-08-09 04:23:24 UTC

Please install debug packages for glib2, evolution, evolution-data-server and paste a new stacktrace here. You can also use "gdb" and enter "thread apply all bt" instead of copying from abrt.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2014-02-26 15:05:19 UTC

Unfortunately closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for.
Thanks!
