Well, I did not include those information because it does not seem to matter... I was running Fedora 21 and 
Mate with Evolution 3.12.x (not sure
which verson of X). I have now just reinstalled my computer but I am now running Arch with Openbox and 
Evolution 3.16.4 and X 1.17.2.
And I have the same problem on both...
