Re: [Evolution] Evo/Connector bug?

[Andrew Plumb <aplumb cadence com>]

Hi Jason,

If you're able to reproduce this one consistently, please do open a bug
report and capture the steps to reproduce it.  Mine doesn't crash as
severely as yours - I'm able to exit gracefully from my Evolution
session and go through the bug-buddy motions - but it can take a while
before things settle down.  I'm in RH7.3, running from Ximian Gnome. 
Sometimes the crash happens while entering e-mail addresses in the To or
Cc fields, other times it happens a while after when I'm in the middle
of typing the message; I've gotten in the habit of saving a draft if
it's an important message.

...I've never had the problem when opening and editing one of the draft
messages though.  It's only been when editing the fresh Reply or
Forward.

So yes, I've been encountering this problem consistently over the
sub-releases; haven't been able to reproduce it consistently though.  My
suspicions are that it's a Connector-specific bug because I have never
had the problem on my home (no Connector) machine.

I always use bug-buddy when it comes up (again) after applying an
Evolution or Connector patch via red-carpet, just in case it might be
"the one" that identifies the source of the problem. :-)  Sounds like
your hard-crashes may not allow bug-buddy to do it's job though. :-(

Andrew.
