I haven't seen anything like this. 
[openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 i915 Evolution 3.6.0].

Why do you think adding and removing the packages(s) will do anything?
And whatever front end you use adding and removing is the exact same
thing.  This won't change anything.  If you are concerned the files from
a package are damaged you can use --verify to check them;  if it reports
nothing the files are identical to when they were installed.  And adding
and removing a package doesn't remove your configuration or setup -
which is far more likely to be the source of a problem than the
binaries.

awilliam linux-nysu:~> rpm -q evolution
evolution-3.6.0-200.3.x86_64

But issues with mouse clicks, etc... are probably from below evolution
[like in X, your video driver, or Gtk].
