Public bug reported: Summary
Evolution upstream fixed a bug where "Print to File (PDF)" reuses the filename from the previous print job. The fix was merged in July 2024 and backported upstream to Evolution 3.52.4+. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble) currently ships Evolution 3.52.3-0ubuntu1.1, and the bug remains reproducible. Environment Package: evolution Version: 3.52.3-0ubuntu1.1 Distribution: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (also affecting Linux Mint 22.3 derived from Ubuntu Noble) Steps to Reproduce 1. Open an email in Evolution. 2. Press Ctrl+P. 3. Select "Print to File (PDF)". 4. Save as a custom filename, for example emailA.pdf. 5. Open a different email. 6. Print to PDF and save as emailB.pdf. 7. Close Evolution completely. 8. Reopen Evolution. 9. Open another email. 10. Press Ctrl+P. Actual Result The filename field is pre-populated with the filename used for the previous print operation (for example, emailB.pdf). Expected Result The filename should not default to an unrelated filename from a previous print job. Upstream References Issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues Relevant upstream report: "Mail: Print to File keeps previous file name" Maintainer comment: "It seems the GTK_PRINT_SETTINGS_OUTPUT_URI property has precedence over the GTK_PRINT_SETTINGS_OUTPUT_BASENAME. I've a fix for it ready." The issue was fixed upstream on July 8, 2024. Associated commits referenced by the maintainer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/commit/6441b477 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/commit/e40677ff The maintainer further noted: "The commit e40677ff is for 3.52.4+" Request Would it be possible to backport the upstream fix into the Ubuntu Noble package series? This appears to be a small, targeted fix that was accepted upstream and backported to the 3.52.x branch but is not present in Ubuntu's current Evolution 3.52.3 package. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2156371 Title: Please backport upstream fix for "Mail: Print to File keeps previous file name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/2156371/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
