[Bug 862494] [NEW] Small font sizes in Evolution mail reading and compose windows in Ubuntu 11.10

 

Public bug reported:

Everything was OK in old Ubuntu e.g., 10.04. After upgrading to Ubuntu
11.10, however, the font size in email reading window is quite small.
The header font is bigger, but the text font is too small. And evo can't
remember the size. Every time when reading emails I have to use Ctrl-+
to zoom in. This happens only for text emails. For html emails, it looks
ok. Mail compose window also has small font (for composing text emails),
and the text cursor (not mouse cursor) looks very strange: it has not
same size as font (much bigger), and sometimes it looks not in the same
line as text, but behaves in the same line!

I have converted mail format from mbox to maildr (?), because Evolution
asks me to do so first time when I opened it after upgrading to new
Ubuntu. I don't know if it is a reason. Another bug related to format
conversion is, everytime when I sent an email out, it shows an error
something like: "The mail has been successfully sent. But the post-
processing had problem. It can't save draft in mbox://... It was saved
in 'Sent'." And a "Dismiss" button is there too. (Maybe I should start
another bug report)

My OS:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release:	11.10

My evolution:
$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 3.1.92-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
     3.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
 *** 3.1.92-0ubuntu1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Oh, I saw an update of evo: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 (actually hundreds or even
thousands of upgrads! it should be a distribution upgrade). I will check
if it fixes the bug.
