Description Leah Cunningham 2005-09-02 22:10:12 UTC

When evolution still has the development warning enabled at start, I saw strange
behavior when clicking on a <a
href="mailto:someemail@somedomain.com">someemail@somedomain.com</a> link if
there is already a copy of evolution running.  What would happen is that another
copy of evolution would be launched, even though evolution was already running,
which led to a crash.  Once I disabled the start-up warning message, I could not
reproduce the behavior.  I am assuming that warning will not be present in the
final version, so it is probably a non-issue, but thought I should report just
in case.

Steps to reproduce:

Vanilla installation, launch evolution, leaving the warning enabled
Launch Firefox
Go to a site with a mailto: style email link
Select the link, and another instance of evolution will try to launch

Leah: Can you install debuginfo packages and get a stack trace ?

Create a new user account in your box and try with the above steps. If you again
get the crash, please attach the stack trace to this bug.

Comment 2 Leah Cunningham 2005-09-03 14:11:54 UTC

I can reproduce the problem with a new user account.  I was able to grab some
information from the GNOME bug buddy stuff and I will attach the info it got
from the application crash, but it is not much.

I did not see a debuginfo package for ppc?

Leah: stack trace does not provide much info. So you may need to find debuginfo
package for PPC and install it in your box. After that get the stack trace and
attach to this bug.

Comment 5 Leah Cunningham 2005-09-03 16:04:06 UTC

I see.  I am having trouble finding that package.  Should it be included, or
should I look elsewhere?

Comment 6 Olaf Hering 2005-11-21 09:41:45 UTC

There are no -debug packages for 10.0. Which makes gdb usage on 10.0-ppc useless.

Comment 7 Olaf Hering 2005-11-21 14:29:18 UTC

this seems to work for me. at least when running kde, start evolution, configure it for pop3, send a message, start firefox, go to a website with an email link. after a while, the compose message window appears.

what warning message should I expect to see?

Comment 8 Olaf Hering 2005-11-21 16:14:14 UTC

appears to work also in a gnomesession.

Comment 9 Olaf Hering 2006-03-04 21:10:21 UTC

reopen if 10.1 has the same error
