Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Henk Huitema (henk-huitema)]

Affects me too, in 13.04, after upgrading.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

still affecting in saucy too

[Arne Meyer (am-v)]

Last Update from today doesn't help anything in saucy

[Mauricio Farell Perezgrovas (mfarell)]

Fresh install Ubuntu 13.10 and evolution was parctically unusable. I uninstalled evolution-indicator and now it is usable...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package evolution-indicator - 0.2.20-0ubuntu13

---------------
evolution-indicator (0.2.20-0ubuntu13) trusty; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/evolution-indicator-eds3.6_v2.patch:
    - use correct GList type, should fix segfault issues,
      thanks Xavier Claessens (lp: #1194005)

  * Build-Depend on evolution 3.10
