[Evolution] Stuck search

[Jan <jl geizhals at>]

Hi,

somehow, the input in the quick search bar got stuck. Clicking on the 
(x) to the right, does not erase the field and I stay in a "filtered 
mode", where the directory tree to the left is grayed out and some 
functionality is inaccessible. I cannot just delete the input manually - 
as soon as I leave the input field, the text reappears.
Closing and opening evolution does not do anything, same as logging in 
an out. The only temporary fix is to change to calendar (or any other 
alternative view) and switch back to email view. Then, at least folders 
aren't greyed out and filtering does not apply. However, the search 
input is still there. I can change the value to something else, but 
cannot get rid of it completely.After a while, it snaps back to filtered 
mode (have not found out hat causes this).

How do I get out of this? I already deleted ~/.config/evolution, but 
unfortunately this only meant setting up everything once more - and the 
search problem remained.

This is on an updated debian 11, evolution 3.42.0-2.
