Dear Tom and list, I have had what appears to be the same problem for some time with evo 2.12.3 as suppled with RedHat EL 5.3 (64-bit smp), except it can happen well after evolution starts, basically anytime the mouse is moved. (My system is a Lenovo T61 laptap if that matters.) Because this is an older version, I did not place a bug with the evolution folks, but instead with the RedHat bugzilla. They don't seem very interested. What I have to add to your note is this: Each time this happens, I get a core dump. You may not if you have dumps turned off in your shell preferences (.cshrc or whatever). I did not install the debug source, so these dumps are sort of useless, but if somebody would find a dump useful for debugging, please let me know what packages are needed to install the debug versions and I will send the first dump I get to you. Also, please let me know whether it is appropriate to file a bug for 2.12.3 with the evolution bugzilla. Anybody else having this problem?
