Actually, I have just encountered this bug for the first time in Ubuntu 12.04.1. I have Evolution 3.2.3 installed from the repositories. Happens exactly as described - if I reply to a message using HTML, then when I type each character, the cursor moves to the left instead of moving to the right.
Does not happen in any other application, does not happen if I reply to a Plain Text message - only happens if I am replying to an HTML message. I hope this helps, and I do hope that there is a fix identified. The workaround is to type my reply in LibreOffice, then copy and paste into the reply - kudgey to say the least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtkhtml3.14 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25695 Title: evolution message text appears backwards when replying to html mail Status in The GTK HTML Library: Confirmed Status in “gtkhtml3.14” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have evolution set to send all email in plain text. When I reply to a html message and try to type in the message body text input area, the characters (except <enter>) I type appear in reversed order. I.e. when I type "abc 123\ndef" I see "\nfed321 cba". I'm using scim-m17n with m17n-t-rfc1345 as an input method, but I don't think it's related because the problem only occurs when replying to html mail, not with a new message or replying to non-html mail (including mail with plain text or rfc822? attachments). evolution 2.5.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-data-server 1.5.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-exchange 2.5.1-0ubuntu1 evolution-plugins 2.5.1-0ubuntu2 evolution-webcal 2.4.1-0ubuntu1 openoffice.org2-evolution 1.9.129-0.1ubuntu4 libscim-dev 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 libscim8 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 scim 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 scim-dev 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 scim-dev-doc 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 scim-gtk2-immodule 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 scim-m17n 0.1.3-1build1 scim-modules-socket 1.4.2-0ubuntu1 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273512: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273512 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libgtkhtml/+bug/25695/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
