Evolution does not remember layout size

[Michael B. Trausch]

Binary package hint: evolution

Using Ubuntu Lucid Beta, fully updated as of 9-Apr-2010.

Evolution does not remember the size of the panels of my layout when I exit and subsequently restart Evolution. It does remember that I want to use the wide layout, but every time that I start up Evolution, I am required to resize the panes so that the pane with the subject and header information is larger than the default setting (I set the size such that the message view pane is the width of a standard 80-character message).

This issue can be reproduced 100% of the time.

My expectation is that when I start Evolution and resize the panes, when I subsequently exit Evolution (e.g., shut down my laptop or simply quit) and come back to it later, it should remember the size of the panes that I have set. Instead of that, I must resize the message header/message view panes manually every time I start the application, which is quite annoying.

Thanks for the report, it does remember the layout size, could you take an screenshot of the dialogs you're talking? thanks.

It would seem that this bug has been fixed but never marked as fixed. I stopped using the wide layout because of the issue, but in Maverick Alpha 1 it is working as it should.

Still an issue in lucid 64bit
