Re: [Evolution] Strange bug in v1.0



For what it's worth - I can reproduce the bug using your steps.  Evo

    I've now managed to dupe on two systems.

  Totally reproducible for me too.  See #16676 on the Bugzilla.  Larry,
Radek, please have a look, this is pretty bad. :-)

    I *tried* to create my first HTML email this morning as I needed to
    create a simple 2 column table and didn't want to have to attach a word
    document.
    
    I got all the table created, but before I sent the email I decided to
    embolden the first row. I selected the text in the first row of the
    table, right to left (i.e., started at end of second cell to the start
    of the first cell) then selected Format->Style->Bold.
    
    The entire content part of the email disappeared!
    
    I tried various attempts at resizing the window, minimizing or rolling
    up the window and restoring but nothing brought it back. I tried to save
    it as a draft, which crashed Evolution's mail shell.
    
    I tried to create a table tonight on my home system rather than my work
    machine and trying to make the header row bold again also killed the
    mail window, losing the content.
    
    Can anyone else duplicate this to the point that it can be declared a
    bug?

   "Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect
   liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to
   freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by
   evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in
   insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without
   understanding."
