Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

To reproduce:
1. Set up two computers to share keyboard and clipboard using synergy (and quicksynergy to make it easier)
2. Copy a URL from a browser's location box in one computer
3. Open an evolution new mail composer in the second computer
4. Paste the URL into the new mail

Result: crash. Unfortunately, evolution crashes do not produce apport traces so I can attach one. I can possibly submit a core dump of the crash if anyone is interested.

Pasting using CTRL+SHIFT+V (paste as quote) works fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
