If it's a bug then it should be reported. Version 3.18.5.2 is long out
of date though and is not a current version so will not be fixed by the
Evolution developers. If you need that version fixed then you should
report it in your distribution's bug reporting system.
If you can reproduce the behaviour in a current version of Evolution
then file a bug in the Gnome bugzilla. If you can provide code to fix
it, then I'm sure that would be appreciated! If you do report it,
please give the bugzilla number here so people searching for such a
problem in the future can find it.
