Title:
goes into select text mode and cannot come out from it.
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
While typing text in an email reply or create new email text area, the
screen changes to a select text mechanism and as I move the mouse up
and down so is the selected text moving. At this point I am unable to
come out of the select text mode , using ESCkey , Right Side mouse
button or anything other means. The effect is Ubuntu apps wide and so
the ONLY way out is the power button, which I never like to do, but
needs must. I have seen that my version of Evolution is quite old (got
it via Ubuntu Software Centre after installing 10.10 32 bit, even
though I am on a 64bit architecture - recommendation from Ubuntu
support). So will now download version 2.32.1 in an effort to come
over the problem.
