I had this right now, with Fedora 30 if it matters, the letters I typed into the composer body didn't make it in, only few of them and there was also a significant CPU usage when pressing those keys. I think someone reported somewhere that the composer doesn't accept keys, thus he/she is unable to write anything into the composer, or at least only a subset of letters, not all of them. I cannot find that report right now. I realized, after some trial, that I had running 'orca' in the background. Once I killed it the things returned back to normal.

Ubuntu has got its pros and cons. I'm using the 16.04 LTS, as well as Arch Linux. Since the software versions provided by 16.04 are old, they don't suffer from a few annoying issues, that affect all other distros using more current software versions, this is a warning, but way too off-topic to go into details. The major issue with Ubuntu flavours and Evolution in general is, that Evolution is provided by the universe repository. Other then the main repository, the universe repository is not maintained by Canonical, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu. Current Ubuntu releases migrated back to GNOME, but they didn't make Evolution, the GNOME mail client, the default for Ubuntu installs. I don't know how well or bad Evolution works for 16.04, due to bad experiences with running Evolution on Ubuntu in the past, I only run Evolution on Arch Linux. IMO the OP should send a request to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users and ask, if there are known issues related to Ubuntu 16.04 and Evolution and if so, if there are workarounds available, such as Evolution provided as a snap. If there should be a snap available, it's important to ask, if there are known issues, due to the sandbox approach. After clarifying "things" on the Ubuntu users mailing list, it might be worth to send a request to https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-devel-discuss . This is not the developer's mailing list, it's a discussion mailing list, the "Point of contact for Ubuntu users to reach Ubuntu developers".

Asking in an Ubuntu forum that can travel back three years in time? :) Hard to say without any hardware information, and hard to remember anything (e.g. underlying Webkit version etc) as that's more than three year old software. andre -- Andre Klapper | ak...@gmx.net https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Thanks Zan. I think I'll stay with Ubuntu thanks ad I have used for a long time and just need to figure out what is causing this problem On Wed, 26 Jun 2019, 20:39 , wrote: > Hi > I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu mate 16.04.6 LTS and Evolution > 3.18.5.2 .

Tested on Power-9 with a Radeon GPU, Ryzen 1700X with a Vega GPU and an Intel i7 laptop with Intel GPU. All Fedora 30. All have a high performing Evolution. I mostly use Thunderbird, but I try out Evolution now and then. Ubuntu always seemed OK'ish to me but sometimes their software build choices are weird. I don't know that I trust them to get it right. -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
