[Bug 584183] Re: Evolution crashes almost randomly

 

Over a year since my last update, and my Evo is still crashing randomly.
It appears that it only happens when I am viewing/moving about in the
calendar (crashes at least 2x per day). If there is some information
that I can provide (log files or something) that might help
troubleshoot, I'd be happy to provide it. Evo just crashes with no
apparent error messages.

Title:
  Evolution crashes almost randomly

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Filling this bug report in order to provide additional informaions, as requested in #579928.
  As already reported:

  I think this should be considered a major: never experienced such a disaster with Evolution, and I'm using it from two years ago. Evolution just keeps crashing randomly: it can happen while editing a message or simply by itself, not necessarily while sending/receiving messages, but often while (apparently) doing absolutely nothing. The program just closes silently, without any kind of warning, eventually it recovers uncompleted messages at next restart, but it continues with it's strange behavior.
  I hope this can be fixed quickly, because e-mailing is a quite fundamental activity.
