[Bug 23810] Re: Evolution is unusable in 1024x768

 

10.04 LTS Is affected, as was 8.04 LTS before it. Telling me to upgrade my users (only 400 of them left on Ubuntu now, directly due to this bug) to a new mail client or OS version 16 months into a  "supported" run of 3 years is tantamount to abandoning us.
 If I'm going to upgrade the company-wide OS I'd rather change to a distro that gets bugs fixed, not provides excuses. Not all your users can run the latest alpha or can change mail clients every 10 minutes. None of my users have sudo rights for a reason.

The reason we've had to move our mobile workforce from Ubuntu is that the keyboard-move didn't work on all of our hardware(!)
We don't need a workaround, we don't need told to use something else. We need a fix. We're sick of the excuses and "workarounds", quite frankly. 

I've just had this bug 3 times on this nightshift alone. 
Six years soon. Is there ANY progress expected AT ALL on this?
