Public bug reported:

I start evolution, and then switch to another window like a web browser.
While I'm typing something into the other window, evolution grabs the
focus, and some of the typed data appears in the evolution search bar
for several seconds.  Then, the search bar is cleared as evolution
finishes starting.  The problem is that from this point forward, this
same text appears in the search bar for several seconds EVERY time I
start evolution.  This has been a security issue for me, as on one
occasion I was typing a password in another window while evolution
started - a portion of an old password now appears in the search bar of
evolution each and every time I start evolution.
