I tried to import an ics file that came via mail from an ms-outlook office system. I opened the attached ics file manually and clicked through to import it into my google-calendar. Then it crashed.

It sure is working better in 3.2.1 .. I have an active session right now with it working great.

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

i have not seen this issue since upgrading to 3.2.1-0ubuntu1

[Rockwalrus (rockwalrus)]

Still present in 3.2.1-0ubuntu1, but happens less often and the crash doesn't seem to break Evolution as much.

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

Back to almost 100% reoccurrance on EDS 3.2.2 in proposed

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

This one looks to possibly be fixed in 3.3.3+ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659491

Maybe a package maintainer can look to see if the patch can be applied, noting it adds some new strings in its current form.

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

This one is still happening in 12.04B1; Basically rendering the calendar unusable. It is fixed upstream, re-comment #9

Is there a plan to merge 3.3 or will this release also suffer from the broken calendar integration that 11.10 had?

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

It seems to have moved to fix-released for the package.. but the bug-notifier did it.. I don't see any change to the package other then upstream commits, which do resolved the issue (potentially).

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

Upstream patches seem to be working well so far against Ubuntu sources. Really excited about getting this one into 12.04.

[iMac (imac-netstatz)]

Upstream patch appears to resolve this issue, patch attached
