Title:
Cannot interact with popup password request box when requesting an
online Gmail contact book
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
Fix Released
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
Using Jaunty 9.04 up to date(upgrade from 8.10), Evolution 2.26.1
When writing an email, and selecting a Sendto contact through the "To"
button's dialogue, attempting to select a Gmail online contact list
results in a dialog box requesting a password, if the password has not
already been remembered from elsewhere.
Thie dialog box that pops up cannot be interacted with. attempting to
type in the box, hitting enter, or using tab to scroll through the
options results in these actions being taken on the "Select contacts"
dialog below, not the, apparently active and focused password dialog
box. the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons will not activate, and do nothing
when clicked.
The contact selection dialog also cannot be closed and it's "Close"
button at the bottom does not respond, nor does the composer window.
the main evolution window also fails to respond to commands.
The only way to get out of it is to pick a local contact list, then
close the contact list window with its window-bar close button. Then
the password dialog becomes active, can be typed in, and the rest of
the program begins to respond as expected.
Note: I dont know if it does this with any other non-local contact
lists, as i only have Gmail to test with.
The issue can be reproduced easily, as illustrated below.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch evolution.
2. Go to "File > Forget Passwords" and clear all remembered passwords
3. Close, then relaunch Evolution. Re-enter any passwords as requested for
reading mail from servers.
4. From the "Mail" window, select "New > Mail Message"
5. Click the "To:" button to open the contact selector
6. Go to the address book selector, and pick an on-line Gmail address book
from the list at the bottom under "Google"
7. The troublesome password dialog will immediately pop up, displaying the
described symptoms.
Steps to get the dialog box to go away:
1. re-select the open "Contact Selector" window
2. from the address book selector, pick a local address book
3. manually close the "Contact Selector" with the button on the window bar
(i.e. not it's "Close" button, as this doesnt work)
4. The password dialog should become active.
Please feel free to contact me if I need to do/try anything else.
Hope this helps!
Andrew
