Comment 4 for bug 175925

I am requesting you re-open this bug. I'm currently using evolution-2.21.92-0ubuntu1 on an up-to-date Ubuntu Hardy system, and this bug is rendering Evolution useless. Hopefully I can supply you with sufficient information.

I have an LDAP address book source configured and have autocompletion set to pull from this data source. Auto-completion works just fine when I start typing a name, but if I have to edit what I have typed (i.e. press backspace once to delete the last character) the UI becomes completely unresponsive for about three to five minutes. When I look at the system monitor I can see the evolution-data-server is eating up about 50% of my CPU.

It seems that the auto-completion process is blocking the UI, and it should not. What debugging information do you need? Should I install the debug packages and run from the command line? Is there any particular environment variable I need to pass when running Evolution (i.e. VERBOSE_DEBUG=1)? Please let me know and I will get you the information as soon as possible.
