Unable to select text in email

[LaChild]

Hello,

I am working with Evolution and unable to select text within an email. When clicking inside the email preview or the email window it randomly highlights or selects random text from different places... Much like the behavior of clicking in the email and holding down the shift key and clicking somewhere else, only in this case you are not holding down the shift key.

Let me know if you need anything else,

Hi, I'd like to suggest to raise the Importance. Although it does not break the package as such,
working with mail like that (having to paste the mail somewhere else to select what I actually
want is a major pain), normal usability is drastically reduced. Also, it's a regression against
the older (10.04) evolution.

Yours,
Steffen
