Evolution crashes when clicking on the [CC] button in the compose window

[Pete Goodall]

Binary package hint: evolution

I'm composing an e-mail where I clicked on an e-mail in my Sent folder and chose "Edit as new message". One of the e-mail addresses was incorrect, so I deleted it and tried to add it with autocomplete from my address book. For some reason Evolution didn't seem to be bothering with autocomplete, so I deleted what I had written for the new address and tried clicking on [Cc] to search through my address books. As soon as I click on the [Cc] button evolution crashes.

I started Evolution again and a message popped up asking if I wanted to recover a partially composed message. I chose [ Recover ] and immediately tried clicking [Cc] again. Once again Evolution crashed.

I started Evolution again, chose to not recover the partially composed message and instead clicked on the new mail button. I clicked on [To] this time with the same result.

I have a local address book, two Google address books, and a LDAP server all configured in Evolution (if that helps). Please let me know what debugging information I can get you. For some reason apport is not popping up.

confirmed, mathieu could you try to see if that's a known issue upstream or if there is a fix for it? using Cc crashes evolution in natty

Reassigning to evolution-data-server. I've been able to patch this in libedataserverui/e-name-selector-dialog.c; just need to finish testing and apply the patch to a proper package.

It ends up this also affects bug 690178 with the same end result: strcmp fails in search_changed for the name selector. Since bug 690178 has more information, marking this one as a duplicate.
