GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 752282
Drag and drop email causes application termination
Last modified: 2015-07-13 19:35:50 UTC
Evolution on Fedora Rawhide works fine in the main. When however an email is picked up from a folder contents listing, Evolution crashes. If you are running Evolution and click, hold and drag an email entry in the folder content list, the green plus sign quickly appears and a very short time later Evolution crashes. About dialogue reports 3.17.3 I have reported this in the Fedora bug repository (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1242208) and will cross reference this entry with that.
Thanks for a bug report. It would be better to provide also backtrace of the crash, otherwise it's quite hard to match the crash with anything existing. I guess you face a variation of bug #751401, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 751401 ***
I tried running Evolution using gdb, but all it reported was: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007fffed837d7d in g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a () from /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 gdb>bt
+ Trace 235254
I think the problem is that Evolution has control of the mouse at the point of the crash so everything is locked up until I kill the Evolution process, which means no backtrace. I suspect I need to improve my knowledge of how to get backtraces.
Try to queue commands to gdb beforehand, like this: $ gdb evolution --ex r --ex bt --ex c --ex q The mouse capture is disturbing for debugging purposes, that's true.
