All,
I found the bug on launchpad eventually. IDK why but searching for
"creating new folder" within the evolution bugs doesn't hit on the bug
even though the bug title is "evolution crashes with SIGSEGV in
folder_tree_maybe_expand_row() when creating new folder". No wonder I
struggle to find existing bug reports. Anyways, I have come to expect
short responses along the lines of "this is duplicate of xxxxxxxx, why
don't you search for existing bug before posting a new one?" Perhaps I'm
too sensitive and should ignore such. It does indeed seem to be a
debian/ubuntu bug not RH/Fedora. I've read up on the Ubuntu way of
getting the upstream patches into existing release and tried to do my
bit to move this along. This is probably the last of this for this list
- it isn't really an evolution-hackers thing is it. The OP (and me!)
should hopefully find the fixed evolution 13.10.4-ubuntu? package in
'trusty-updates' in the next couple of weeks.
Regards,
Daniel.
