Many thanks Milan. I'll start right here and see where this takes me.

Respectfully,

Dennis

	Hi,

it's very hard to guess what the cause is without having at least a

backtrace of the crash. You can get it with gdb, when you attach it to

the running evolution and when evolution crashes you issue the related

commands. As you said you are logged out of the session, I'd just run

Evolution, then switch to the text terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F3), log in

there, then run:

   $ gdb --batch --pid=`pidof evolution` --ex c --ex bt \

         --ex "t a a bt" &>~/bt.txt

then switch back to the graphical console (Alt+F1 or Alt+F2 usually)

and then just use Evolution. Once Evolution crashes the bt.txt may

contain the information. Please check the bt.txt for any private

information, like passwords, email address, server addresses,... I

usually search for "pass" at least (quotes for clarity only), before

you share it anywhere.

You said it begun recently. That may mean something updated, causing

the crash. Maybe the WebKitGTK had been updated to some recent version

say 2.30.x, which causes some issues with drag&drop. I do not know how

your distribution calls the WebKitGTK package, maybe webkit2gtk3, or

libwebkit2gtk3 or completely differently. If it had been updated, then

I'd try to downgrade it.

	Bye,

	Milan
