        Hi,
we look on the same thing in a different ways. My point of view:
the *current* stable version is 3.12.x (right now 3.12.7). This 
current stable version doesn't suffer of the issue described for 3.10 
version. It's not my fault that your distribution uses obsolete 
evolution version; I do not have any influence on it. The bug as such 
is fixed, in the *current* stable version. The 3.10 is dead for the 
upstream. Nonetheless, my intention was to provide a fix for such 
distributions anyway, in a way I chose. I'm not going to commit the 
patch to the gnome-3-10 branch, I do not like to add changes into dead 
branches, where no releases will be done.
        Bye,
        Milan
