Bug 37991

Summary: Evolution gets "stuck" on startup if exited while being in "Summary".
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: Dan Naumov <jago>
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: freebsd-gnome (Nobody) <gnome>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description Dan Naumov 2002-05-12 14:50:01 UTC 
This problem has been happening to me since Evolution 1.0.3 and
apparently it is still present in 1.0.5. It can be activated by starting
Evolution, going to the summary part of the suite and then closing
Evolution. Now if you start Evolution again, it will start-up in the
"Summary", but clicking anywhere else (like Inbox, VFolders, etc) will
not transfer you to that part of the suite, but rather, you get "stuck"
in the Summary. This does not happen always, although often enough to
annoy the user quite a lot.

This seems to be a FreeBSD-specific problem, seeing as this never
happens with Evolution 1.0.3 under Linux. XFree 4.2.0 was used in both
cases.

Fix: 

No fix known. The only workaround for this problem seems to be to not
close Evolution while in Summary, but rather open up the Inbox before
closing the suite.
How-To-Repeat: 1) Start Evolution.
2) Go to Summary.
3) Close Evolution.
4) Start Evolution again.
5) Click on Inbox or VFolders.

This bug is best seen if you use the Folder Bar and not the Shortcut Bar.

Apparently, as of now (1.0.5), you can get "stuck" in
Inbox as well as pretty much every folder you have.
After tinkering around for about 20 minutes, I got
Evolution to stuck in Inbox twice as well as once in
my "FreeBSD Ports" folder, which is a subfolder of
Inbox :(

Sincerely,
Dan Naumov aka Jago

I cannot reproduce this problem with Evo 1.0.5 on 4.6-RC.  Have you asked 
the evolution-users@ximian.com list about this?  If it's as easy to reproduce 
as you say, it may be a problem with the application, and not necessarily 
the FreeBSD port.

Looks like this is a rare bug that exists in all ports of Evolution.  Have 
a look at bug 11764 in Ximian's Bugzilla database.

Closing this PR since it is not specific to the FreeBSD port.
