Bug Description

This is a serious bug and i am sure not only affect me, it does affect:

Ubuntu 12.04
Kubuntu 12.04

I have the must update system and every time I activate any combo box in any window in Evolution it causes the KEYBOARD STOP RESPONDING for that Window until you close it and reopen it.

Is there a way to fix this, it is very annoying on such a great program, I do not want to switch to other email program Evolution has great features.

After a lot of testing finally find what was causing the problem, it sound strange to me that I was the only one efected but I am sure others have the same problem but never ask for help.

Here is how to recreate the problem:
1. Install Kubuntu or Ubuntu and the install kubuntu-desktop
2. Select under K, System settings, Application Appearance, GTK+ Appearance, select: Oxygen-gtk on Widget style.
3. Install Evolution email client
4. Open Evolution, compose new Email, type some thing, switch from Plain text format to Html format, try to type some thing else and you will notice the keyboard does not respond at all in evolution until you close the Window where you activate the Combo box.

So the problem is in the: Oxygen-gtk widget style provided by oxygen-gtk2 or oxygen-gtk3, like I said before it is shame this specific style have that type of problems since it is the one the that give KDE and Unity apps a uniform style.

I hope some body will fix this big bug soon, mean while the only hope will be using any other widget style.
