Created attachment 296602 [details] demonstrates the bug I added an iCalendar over HTTP feed with a list of tasks. The text in the left hand panel vanished. See screenshot. I'm using Evolution on Debian wheezy
Thanks for a bug report. (In reply to daniel from comment #0) > I'm using Evolution on Debian wheezy This doesn't tell me anything. You set the Version field to 3.4.x, is it correct?

All the versions of Evolution that have been distributed in Debian releases are confirmed here: https://packages.qa.debian.org/e/evolution.html wheezy is the current stable release, it has 3.4.4-3
Okay. The current stable version is 3.12.11, your version was released approximately on 2012-08-13, which is like 2.5 years ago. There were done too many changes meanwhile, not only in evolution itself, but also in related libraries, like in gtk3. I did notice a similar bug some time ago, it could be in time of 3.4/3.6, I do not recall precisely, I only know that this works fine for me with stable version of evolution (3.12.10 - yes, one lower than the current stable, which was released this Monday) and gtk3 (3.14.8). I suggest you to ask Debian maintainers to try to find what fixed it and eventually backport the change to the respective package. This is out of scope for Evolution upstream, especially due to inability to reproduce it (hence the 3.4.x version is marked as 'obsolete').
I've tried Evolution on Debian jessie, version 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1 and didn't see this problem there. It is a reproducible problem on Debian wheezy though.
