Contacts window froze after selecting a contact

[Garry Leach]

Binary package hint: evolution

1.Ubuntu: I upgraded to 11.04 on Sunday 15/04/2011.
2. evolution: Installed: 2.32.2-0ubuntu7

3. I wanted to access a particular contact.

4. From the Inbox window, I selected contacts, then typed a partial name in the search box.
That name & summary details came in the next window.

However,
I could not open the contact's detailed set of windows/tabs.
I could not close the window.
The mouse & keyboard stilled worked, but could not be used to do anything on the window. I was able to use ctl/alt/D to return to the desktop.

Eventually, I minimised the main window (I can't remember what changed to enable me to do this), then maximised it. Both this window & the contacts window were greyed-out.
I was able to close the windows.
I then re-opened evolution & used "report a problem" to get the opportunity to report the bug.

Regards, Garry.

I am also experiencing the problems similar to bug #773582 "Windows blank to white after being resized larger".

Is it possible that #783728 could be a duplicate of #773582, with a slightly different manifestation?

This morning, I tried to access contacts. Presumably as I had not cleared the contact's name yesterday, the same contact as yesterday was in the summary window. Again the window was not responding to open the contact's detail pages.

When I clicked on "File", "open contact" & "....V-card" were greyed-out.

Clicking on "clear the name of this contact" had no effect.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I received the following response after trying to click on several spots, including "mail" & the "X" to close the application.

"The window "Contacts - Evolution" is not responding.

Forcing this application to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved changes."

After clicking on this, Evolution closed. It reopened OK.

Otherwise, Evolution seems to be working - receiving mail, sending mail, getting addresses from the address book.

Regards, Garry.
