Re: [Evolution] GAL autocomplete hanging Evo (2.11.90)

[Marcus Senna Borges de Barros <msenna sefaz ba gov br>]

Same annoying thing happening here, I'm using evolution 2.10.1 on Ubuntu 7.04 (I had the same problema with Evo 2.8.X on Ubuntu 6.10).

There are days in which I have to force-shutdown and restart evolution a dozen times.
