crash on "Compose a new mail message"

[Jeremy Murphy]

Binary package hint: evolution

1. Try to compose a new email (click the New button, Ctrl-N or via menu).
= New mail window appears and is fully drawn, then application crashes. If I start typing as the window is being drawn, keystrokes and autocompletion do appear in the To: field before it crashes.

Application crash reporting thingy does not appear.

This problem only started occurring after I upgraded Ubuntu from 6.10 to 7.04.

Versions:
Ubuntu 7.04
evolution 2.10.1-0ubuntu2
evolution-data-server 1.10.1-0ubuntu1
evolution debug packages are installed

Hardware:
"Dell Optiplex GX150"
Pentium 3

Oh, importantly, I forgot to mention that it happens often but not every time. Yeah, frustrating.

It also happens when reply to an email.

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Done. Looks like the bug is in gtkhtml or something - I installed the debugging symbols for that, bonobo and glib in order to fill in the blanks that appeared at first. Do I need to do anything more or can those in the know take it from here? Thanks.

That's a duplicate of bug #85159
