Actually, I lied. It crashed when I clicked the Mail button to go to the inbox. It started up in the contacts view.

I installed debugging symbols and launched it again (figured it's about time since I've had two crashes today). Got some dialog saying it would hide previews because it crashed last time, but no crash.

thanks for your report, trace matches: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513377

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in intrepid?

[Niklas Höglund (nhoglund)]

I've run evolution a little bit on another machine with intrepid, and not seen this issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

closing the bug since that works correctly on intrepid; you can reopen if you get the issue again though

[Antono Vasiljev (antono)]

Same bug in Interpid. Crashes when switching to calendar view.

[Hans Vermeersch (hansvermeersch)]

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Please do not attach .crash files to the report, use apport to send it rather, thanks.

Upgraded to 9.10 and bug seems to have resurfaced.
Normally only occurs on first use of Evolution from boot.
Evolution starts in inbox view and then crashes.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Brian, please open a new report with apport, thanks.
